Subject: [gentoo-user] advice about Gentoo (Oracle, Java, VMWare...)
Date: Thu, 26 Jan 2012 15:05:53 +0300 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <4F2141A1.1050101@rktmb.org> (raw)
Hi all,
I have been a former user, and in my new occupation I think Gentoo could
be a perfect tool.
Context
- I admin a server for PHP and Java Web developers
- I have to run a Gentoo host which have LXC guests (also Gentoo-only).
- About the LXC guests
-- 1 LXC guest with PHP4 (with custom ./configure options)
-- 1 LXC guest with PHP 5.2 (with custom ./configure options)
-- 1 LXC guest with PHP 5.3 (with custom ./configure options)
-- 1 LXC guest with Tomcat + Oracle + Oracle's Java
- I'll also need to host several ready to boot VMWare Windows VM images
(containing IE6, for compatibility tests): I guess I'll have to
install a VMWare server
- I *only* want to install with the distribution packaging tool.
Is Gentoo a good choice? I think yes because:
- Installing PHP4, PHP5.2 is just about unmasking and install
- Installing VMWare server is easy
But...
- Installing Oracle's Java is not so easy: http://goo.gl/tbBFW
I master Debian based administration with some knowledges of packaging,
but this is the fisrt time I have to deal with Sun/Oracles products
which I know are not really Linux friendly.
What's your opinion?
