The host is a fat Mac mini running VirtualBox.
A VM with an IP address outside the VM host’s realm behaves like an own “machine” – that’s the very special charm of it.
- the openSUSE000 VM: will run “hibiscus – HBCI-banking for jameica”
- the oracle000 VM runs a modern Oracle Database – supplied entirely by Oracle – just their bad SELinux set-up makes it a little difficult: a home directory outside /home, w/o proper /home rules
- the solaris000 VM: for gathering experience with Oracle’s Solaris – not Open Source, but still great
I would love to have these ones:
- an AIX one, but IBM only offers AIX for PowerPC, don’t they – and they don’t offer them for free, even not for non-productive use
- an SLES one, but SuSE also don’t have a policy for that …
Current problem: looks like the connection to such an VM stalls, as soon as the screen saver gets active. That’s obviously not reasonable for my use-case.
