Their DNS was screwed up when I was looking for this a few days ago -
looks like everything is back to normal now. That bundle includes a jvm
and tomcat that you might not want, but installing it on a virtual
machine might give you a hint about what all has to be started besides
tomcat.

yeah, I got the thread info from Jeff Gustafson suggesting the war
install and now parsing through the installation manual, that makes the
most sense.

if I buy a new server, would you suggest that I install CentOS/RHEL-xen
and run this as a virtual machine?

No, that was just a suggestion for a test install to figure out how it
works. Once you know where everything belongs, java provides enough of
a virtualization layer.

well, considering that I really don't have a server (or even a desktop
system) around that I can adequately set up and test, I'm thinking that
this might be a good time to strong arm the boss and buy a new server
that actually has hardware support for virtualization.

Thus I am thinking that I could get a rack server with sufficient hard
drive space, 4 GB RAM and a couple of Xeon processors, wait until
CentOS-5.1 and set up so that I could have LTSP & alfresco running under
xen...this makes sense to me, do this make sense to you?

The free vmware server will run on about anything if it has enough RAM
to give some to the guest(s).

I'm not sure I see the point of virtualizing something that runs fine on
the native OS and that you expect to run unchanged for a long time. On
the other hand, I'd certainly recommend getting an up to date system
with processors that can virtualize 64-bit guests just because those
things are so much faster than the old boxes and you can run a couple of
test instances without bothering your main system. I haven't set up
xen, so I can't compare it against vmware, except that vmware's ability
to run the same guest image on windows/linux/mac hosts has been handy
for me.
