Hallo!
I am getting closer to the point, where we will start using koha. Before I start building the system, I have a few questions. They are probably naive and simple, but I am a beginner on this ;-)
It is a small private school, where we will also have a library. There will be a server for the school - including web-, mail-, print- and fileserver. But from my feelings I am a bit reluctant on installing koha on this central server. Are there any big advantage in installing koha on a separate computer in the library? If something goes wrong, I think the consequences would be smaller.
For the beginning I would probably only use koha internally in the library anyway.
Run Koha within VirtualBox, then you can play around as you wish. If your server is a modern machine with at least a dual core CPU and 4-8 GB RAM then you can run a couple of virtual machines in it without disturbing the others. Maybe the community even can have a known "standard" virtual image for, say, Ubuntu to download??? Any takers?
