rlocone Posted September 2, 2010 Share Posted September 2, 2010 Hello All, I know a few seasons back Matt was setting a VmWare Server. Is there a way to do this w/ Virtualbox? Interested in making a machine around this purpose. Right now all I want it to do is be a firewall & a Windows Home server. Later build some RAID then have it backed up by a Drobo FS. Thanks for your time & attention, Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BattZ Posted September 2, 2010 Share Posted September 2, 2010 http://www.hak5.org/episodes/episode-717 Darren covers it pretty well in that episode I think. I don't think he said how much ram he put in it though, now that I think of it. Hmmm...now I'm curious about how much ram would be good for running a bunch of VM's...

Charles Posted September 2, 2010 Share Posted September 2, 2010 I've got about 6GB of RAM on my main server at home. Each VM is alloted 512 - 1GB, depending on what I am using it for. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Infiltrator Posted September 3, 2010 Share Posted September 3, 2010 (edited) I have a quad core CPU and 8Gigs of ram on my computer at home. I run 2 vms at the same time, with 1 gig allocated to each of them and at least 2 cores allocated as well.
