It is possible to setup your computer to act as server and accessible around the state. But in the actual environment, a lot of factor should be consider such as connection bandwith, security, stability and server load as it will give heavy
impact on your system. I am sure that you don't want your Koha user to be disappointed for slow performance and will blame Koha and Open Source solution at the end. The best way is to work out with your technical/IT department to identify your overall system requirement as it will save a lot of your time and effort in long term. Maybe, this community can help you to advice on the system requirement part based on your organizational needs (e.g: number of user, network setup and etc.)<br><br>Hope it can help.<br><BR><BR>Amzari Abu Bakar<br>amzari79@gmail.com<p>
