main1 and vmain

main1 is now basically an infrastructure for virtual servers. vmain is what does the work main1 used to do. main1 is running Windows 7, and vmain is running Mandriva Linux 2010.1.

main1

We've been playing around and planning for which OS to use underneath the vmain server. We've tested and therefore chosen Windows 7. We might be able to upgrade it to Windows 10, and have it still work okay. It works, we're proud to say, so we are no longer stuck in one spot. Now we can continue.

It does change the definitions of the main1 server and the vmain server slightly though. Now main1 does basically nothing, because Windows 7 can basically do no server work, and vmain does all the work instead, since Linux can be used as a great server OS. We've stuck with Mandriva Linux 2010.1, because Mageia Linux just isn't ready for our needs yet. I hope Mageia eventually produces something usable for us, so that we can upgrade to Mageia Linux. In the meantime, we will use Mandriva Linux.

I wish we could have made our current version of Linux work for what we are trying to do on main1, but it looks as if we are going to have to try to change Linux flavors again to get main1 AND the virtual servers to work!
