Hello all:<br><br>
Since the question was raised, here's the short version of what we're
running:<br><br>
1) The "cheap version" is running on HostGIS Linux 1.0 (Gregor
has since released an upgraded version of HostGIS) on a PC I threw
together from spare parts for testing purposes, total cost about $300 for
the hardware. That is the machine Matt developed applications we then
hammered with about 125 intro GIS students in our courses last fall (in
labs of around 24 concurrent users). No problems at all. <br><br>
2) In our University research lab we're also running MS on our Sun
Solaris 8 and 9 systems, those are for our R&D as well as production
servers. If you want models and more specs on these you can hit my lab
site at:
<a href="http://www.humboldt.edu/~asaf" eudora="autourl">
http://www.humboldt.edu/~asaf</a> where several MS projects sites are
linked (in various stages of completeness on various versions and with
different features, add ons, etc.<br><br>
In general we run MS with Apache, Postgres, and the other usual suspects.
We're always interested in trying new things both on campus and in
collaboration with Doug et. al. at HostGIS.<br><br>
I'm particularly interested in learning about Steve Monai's work with the
real time GPS data as we're looking at getting other real time sensor
data integrated with our postgres databases in the coming year
(especially the CI-CORE project linked on the above site).<br><br>
Comments, suggestions and ideas are always welcome!<br><br>
Any additional thoughts on times and locations for a get-together for the
B.C. folks?<br><br>
Steve<br><br>
