Er... correction. I think my clients needed to use SDK 1.4 . And there was no support for 64-bit
AMD (or 64-bit anything, can't recall).
There should be SDKs for 64-bit AMD and Intel from SDK 1.5 and above.

A couple of clients I have use 64-bit AMD machines. I recall there
weren't
any official Sun SDKs supporting those machines. My clients were
forced to use some other non-Sun
SDKs. Not good. Lots of bizarre issues.
As for 64-bit gotchas, I wouldn't be surprised. Newer hardwares often
have
new problems. I try to go with mainstream models. Cluster up a few
mainstream workhorses if we need
more power.

Thats a good idea, I would be particularly happy to hear about 64 bit

The only condsideration is if the distro you your plan to use supports
Sun SDK package.
as long as you have 1.5 or better on you box then you ok.
Fedora installs the opensource SDK and yum does not work to get the sun
SDK.
Maybe we should put a doc file up that everyone can put what distro they
have tried and if they were sucessful or not.

I plan on running Gentoo, though many disagree with that choice.

I find that using the stable (non ~) branch with occasional upgrades to
~x86
(unstable) programs runs quite well. It's the best of both worlds
IMHO,
you
can get the stable software and you can get the newer fixes that you
inevitably will need. Best of all, it provides a nice framework for
managing that complexity.
If you plan on using the POS application under linux, I'd highly
suggest
using a 32 bit distribution, even if you have a 64 bit processor. Most
(nearly all it seems) JavaPOS drivers have a native binary component
that
is
32 bit. While AMD processors can run 32 bit code natively, the binary
drivers require 32 bit system libraries, etc, which can get a bit
interesting to set up.

Thanks skip - just looking at a review on CentOS at the moment. Looks
fairly impressive for server stability
cheers

Instead of Fedora Core, give a look at CentOS. Its a good deal more
stable.
I have had lots of weird problems with Fedora in the past (usually
fixed
within a few weeks, but still a pain when it happens).

Thanks BJ ... Now what distro would be more suited these days? I am
looking
at Fedora or Ununtu ... some may have preferences for viable reasons
Thanks again ... quick reply to my question ... I think I am going to
like
setting up and configuring OFBiz

then on your linux box
load svn
some use wget
then you can use the svn commands to load ofbiz.

Hi Fellas
I am preparing a Linux box with OFBiz + PostgreSQL ... I have had
Compiere
and OpenBravo installed on my windows server boxes and have
investigated
TinyERP however OFBiz seems to fit in better with my business model
which
largely consists of virtual warehousing and drop ship ecommerce.
This
is my
first posting in this forum so excuse me if I have missed any
protocol
or my
questions seem simplistic. So here we go
1. How do I download from the required SVN repositories using
windows?
2. Search the list archives for threads other than scrolling through
one
by
one?
Thanks in advance
