My 25 Cents:
- - Main machine: 3,8GHz OctoCore with 32GB RAM, running CentOS7 and LO 4.3.7.2
- - Notebook: ThinkPad T410 with CentOS7 and LO 4.3.7.2; also as database server
for Base Applications (MySQL)
- - Windows Gaming Machine: SixCore with 16Gigs and Win7Pro, LO 4.4.x for
testing
- - Sun Solaris 9 on UltraSparc III (Sun Blade 1000 DualCore), for automated
testing (not active anymore)
- - and countless virtual machines with different Windows and Linux versions for
testing
regards,
fred
