Hi Rob

Thanks for the detailed information, in my previous project I was using sun v=
irtual box for my Linux(centos)=20

I can do the same now. Can I do this, I will install windows 7 on virtual bo=
x, I have dual boot with windows xp and fedora 10 and 11. In this way i can t=
ry on four different platforms.=20
But I have two core with 2.1Ghz. It was working fine with this environment.=20=

As liu said, I will signup with the dev mailing list.

Thanks again Rob

Vinay
