[Oorexx-devel] ooRexx Build Machine Planning

[David A. <da...@us...>]

All -

As you may know Mark Hessling is in the process of moving the 
www.oorexx.org server from my study to the SafeData location where 
www.rexxla.org resides. When that task is accomplished I will convert the 
surrent server into an official build machine for us to use. I will load a 
copy of VMWare Server on it and then establish some build environments for 
us (Fedora, Ubuntu, Windows, etc). I will need to upgrade the hardware on 
the machine but I was going to do that anyway. It needs additional disk 
space and more memory.

I am going to build a practice ooRexx build machine on a spare I have 
before I convert our current server. So 2 questions come immediately to 
mind.

1. Mark, any projected date when the new oorexx.org server will be ready?
2. What Windows version would be best for the build machine? I can do 
either Win 2000 or XP. My preference is Win2k because it is a lower common 
denominator, but I could be convinced otherwise. With enough disk space I 
could do both but I don't think that is necessary.

Let me know your preferences.

Thanks,
