What you need for this book
Working with the illustrative examples in this book will require a 64-bit machine to host Proxmox 4.1 that meets at least the minimum recommended specs for evaluation:
- CPU: 64 bit (Intel EMT64 or AMD64)
- Intel VT/AMD-V capable CPU/Mainboard (for KVM Full Virtualization support)
- A minimum of 1 GB RAM
- Hard drive
- One NIC compatible with RedHat Enterprise Linux
This is not an ideal rig—more powerful specs can be found in Chapter 2, Installing Proxmox VE.
In addition to a machine to host Proxmox VE, broadband internet access is assumed, as is a remote workstation on the same LAN as the Proxmox VE host, a modern, JavaScript-enabled web browser, and installed ssh and sftp clients.
