RE: [CentOS] Spacewalk from Redhat
Maybe this will answer your question in regards to database choice (directly from the wiki FAQ): - Spacewalk Architecture Why do you use Oracle? Any plans for supporting other databases? Originally the Spacewalk code base was used as a hosted application and Oracle was a good choice for a hosted application in 2001. Over the years open source databases such as PostgreSQL and MySQL have improved tremendously in terms of stability, speed, and scalability. We have not had the resources allocated in the past to add support for an open source database but want to do so soon. What if I don't have Oracle? See the instructions here for information about the XE version: OracleXeSetup -- IOW, you can get an Oracle instance (apparently) for free to support Spacewalk. -geoff Geoff Galitz Blankenheim NRW, Deutschland http://www.galitz.org From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Amos Shapira Sent: Dienstag, 1.

Re: [CentOS] Spacewalk from Redhat
And I expect PostgreSQL and MySQL will be options very very soon... :-) Not *too* very soon; a lot of work needs to be done. I know they're planning to abstract things to make it a lot easier to add support for other databases vs just hacking on support for Postgres, etc. Ray ___ CentOS mailing list CentOS@centos.org http://lists.centos.org/mailman/listinfo/centos

Spacewalk can work on VM's and real hardware. If you are doing development or small deployment, you can use a virtual machine of some kind.
