Comment 104 for bug 991179

Well, I can't really comment on that....because I haven't been able to get
12.04 Release to install on such a system. The desktop installer panics right
away, the alternate installer panics on first boot after its done.

Its supposed to be my Windows desktop, but I had envisioned virtualizing
it....since it died mid-February after automatically installing a bunch of
patches from Microsoft, and I had been waiting for 12.04 release to make this
attempt. Probably going to go non-Linux, since I want a machine at home now
to learn/play with the environment that we're doing virtualization at work with.

I did try to push out a 12.04LTS server at work, but got called out when $boss
found out.... someday it might happen....but it'll have to wait until a bigger
customer asks for it. The other OS, came about because we support a .gov that
has an aging Solaris box...which they like, but had outgrown and its
dying....but they didn't want to spend money on a new Sunoracle server. Plus
they've gotten to like containers, and wanted to do more than just that.
$boss mentioned he had read about $X that might be something for them to try.
Now a couple years later (and 3 less FTEs, including the one that dealt with
them and could go on site [even though I lived across the street from them]
)....that customer has shown up with a new whitebox, and they want us to make
it happen. (says so in the new SLA)
