th1areplaceafill:  What's the easiest way to get a vm runnning on Precise?19:21
th1aI'm wondering if ST today runs at all on a 256mb server.19:22
th1aOr, how well it runs to be more precise.19:22
replaceafillhhmm19:22
replaceafilli think it would19:23
replaceafillas long as you don't import a huge xls :)19:23
replaceafillas for vms, i only create vms using virtualbox19:23

replaceafill:|19:29
th1ahttp://beagleboard.org/bone19:30
th1aThe problem is the really small low-cost boards aren't boosting the RAM.19:31
menesisth1a: easiest way to run a vm is testdrive19:31
th1aI don't think it is necessary for most of their uses.19:31
th1aok, installing that.19:31
th1aUhhh...19:39
th1aWe should just re-write SchoolTool in node.js for the beaglebone.19:39
th1a:-D19:39
menesis:D19:40
th1aAh, I guess the -xm has half a gig of memory.19:45
th1aBut it is $150.19:47
* replaceafill would like one of these: http://www.element14.com/community/groups/raspberry-pi19:50
th1aOh, yeah, if we're talking 256mb, then it is possible.19:51
th1aHm, yes.19:51
th1aI was kind of waiting to see if the raspberry-pi would actually exist.19:53

th1areplaceafill:  How do I communicate with my VM now over IP?22:49
replaceafillusing...?22:50
replaceafillvirtualbox?22:50
th1atestdrive22:50
replaceafillsorry, i've never used testdrive :(22:50
th1aWell... I think I left it on KVM...22:50
replaceafilllet me see if i have an iso around22:51
replaceafillto try it22:51
th1aWell, it has a 10. ip address.22:51
th1ahttp://jrwren.wrenfam.com/blog/2012/01/30/ubuntu-testdrive-networked-to-your-lan/22:54
th1aI guess at that point the convenience of Testdrive isn't helping.22:57
replaceafilltrue23:00
th1aWe could probably develop a BeagleBone based system for sending SMS's when kids scan their ID's.  ;-)23:02
th1atbh it is about the only example I can think of where you could use an embedded device with an LCD as a SchoolTool client.23:09
th1aWithout keyboard or monitor even.23:09
