Also sent to Codeweavers - [what is this list's insights?]
I have a 32 GB, dual quad-core desktop machine and was considering
32-bit Windows XP w/SP2, but discovered it only supports up to 4 GB
RAM, so that idea is shot.
Next in line is 64-bit CentOS 5. The major need for Windows would be
very active use of Adobe Acrobat 8, Photoshop CS3, and Illustrator CS3.
There may also be the need to copy/transfer information among Matlab,
Mathematica, and Microsoft-based applications, from Office 2003 to the
above-mentioned ones.
Do you support these, and how complete is your product line for 64-bit
CentOS 5?
Based on your answer, I'll know whether to go with a virtual
machine-based solution, which means a Windows VM, or can remain
Linux-only, with your solution.
Thank you very much.
Scott
I think you should go for windows XP, as support for these apps is much
better than in centos IMO
and 4 gigs should be fine for a desktop
I'm not sure if Windows XP will do 8 cpu's.
