Carl will discuss the differences between VMWare and similar products and demonstrate how to install and configure a VMWare server. Then somebody gets to take the 1U (and very loud) server home as a door prize!
About the Presenter:Carl has over 29 years of computer experience. His first PC was a PDP-11 running RT-11 in a back closet of a raised floor computer room at Racal-Milgo in Miami when Racal-Milgo Modems were the hot items. His long term work has been mostly in OpenVMS. In late 80s, Carl worked on a few Unix OS for miniframes, like V7M for PDP-11 and Ultrix for MicroVax, when the internet was mostly UUCP connections between computers and email addresses had "!" (called BANG) in them and news groups ruled the internet. But after meeting a young talented Grad Student from Finland (Linus Torvalds) at the 1995 DEC Users Group convention in Washington, D.C. decided to give a new Unix Operation system a look over, the LINUX operating system. Since then, Carl has been working on integration projects between OpenVMS, Linux and that other M$ brands. Currently, Carl is working for Commcare Pharmacy as their Director of IT which uses Linux, Oracle, MySQL, VMware and other Open Source programs to run all critical business requirements for Commcare
