Turnkey Installs on CloudatCost

Ah, so probably cant install what I want on top then,
Just add additional bare linux servers (which is still actually pretty cool to utilize resources)
-
If the ISO has all the RPM's need is the only case where it works. Most distro ISO's don't work like that. Though some do.

Like Elastix.

RPM is RPM Package Manager (or was Redhat Package manager, now the name is kinda odd). It's install packages. The same thing you download when you use yum

Ah gotcha thanks -
Not as bad as YUM! The Yellow Dog Update Manager! Yellow Dog has been gone for a decade!!
-
On an unrelated (but semi) related note has anyone tried running Hyper V on one of their Big Dog servers?
Does it actually allow you to visualize a virtual? -
I haven't heard of anyone trying this yet. I can't imagine that that would work well.
-
I concur, seems like that would be unbearable slow.
-
Seems like it would probably "work", but only as a technicality.
-
Thanks for the input guys.
Bought a BigDog1 so gonna give it a try (even if I just end up using it as my website server)
It just finished installing server 2008r2 and all my network tests (in the portal) fail and I cant console in (again from the portal) so ticket opened lol -
KVM under linux is the only legal way to do it as you can't upload baremetal hyper-v.
It would be slow. And you still have them under one IP address as you only get one so you'd have to to NAT on the virtual NICs. Not really ideal. -

Xen would be legal and I think you can get that to work too. Xen will shim itself under a running install, so I bet you could get that to work. And it would potentially work in situations where HyperV would fail (lack of hardware virtualization support, for example.)

Pretty big limitation. Although I think that you can buy IPs one at a time as an add-on feature.

Ya 3 for $4/month or 6 for 7

Not sure how they handle the 1:1 Nat mapping of those IPs at the OS level.. Or I guess they might just add a new Nic for each IP.
