Andy,
Do you know when 15.2 be on RedHat 3.0 AS? I'm working the IC side of
Linux and Redhat Enterprise 3.0 WS and I've been told that the IC side
will not be production until march 2005. What is AS? didn't want to
post this as my question is not related to pcb... By the way, the IC
side was better on 7.3 than 3.0 because they hadn't compiled it for 3.0
:-(.
thanks, Donna
I think Linux is the way to go:
15.2 will be available on RedHat 3.0 AS (Don't bother with RH 7.3/8.0 or 9.0; these releases are outdated).
In view of a remote client installs on Windows based OS's, well I don't see an issue really.
On a "server" (any P4 with 2GB RAM and 800MHz frontside bus will do) run "setup.exe admin" to get the server isntall done.
starting with 15.1, this will create a CLIENT_SETUP directory in the final installation. Any user can run the
setup.exe in that directory and get 15.x installed (in less than 2 min.) If you plan to use Capture, you might run into some
minor or major problems. Cadence doesn't seem to apply resources to make Capture work in a remote client environment.
(Same with PSpice)
my 2 cents

Steve,
You can't rlogin into a windows box.
You will need to look at a Citrix type solution for the engineers - a server based solution for the PC world.
The option would be to look at a Linux platform - the power of PC hardware - and the ease of use of a Unix - did I really just say that? - of the command line/interface.
Mike

I just joined the list, so this topic may have already been covered.
We are currently running on UNIX servers. They are going to replace them soon. Cost wise between a UNIX server and a PC workstation it is pretty much even. My supervisor wants to know if switching to the PC workstation version would be beneficial. We only have 3 board designers. The engineers rlog in to the servers to use Concept. We have 8-10 engineers that use Concept though only a few at any given time.
Any thoughts or opinions.
Thank you.
