Re: Small development machine specs

If you're mixing and matching RPG/Java then you probably want a machine 
that will run the current version of operating system, which, at this 
time, happens to be V5R2.  Some of the cheap boxes out there can't.

If you're attempting to avoid interactive then I'd suggest having some 
horsepower in your PC's and using Code/400.

The java, is it strictly server side, or will you be serving up web pages? 
 Because if you are planning on WebSphere then that comes into play.

Hi All,

What would be a good development platform 
configuration for less than 5 programmers?  I'm 
not a hardware-type of guy, so I really don't 
know where to start when configuring a system.

I know that I would need RPG/ILE/SQL/Java and 
such.  I also would be using PCs for 
workstations and I would attempt to avoid the 
interactive subsystem for all products.

What is a decent config?  And how much should I 
expect to pay?  Latest technology is 
unnecessary - just a box do connect to, develop 
software, compile and test.

Feel free to contact me directly if this is off-
topic.

TIA,

William
