of course you can run a laptop as anything you want, the same goes for the question can I use a desktop and or phone as a server-); Everyone's comments and concerns are valid, so are your reasons. This is all up to you, no need for validation from us at all,infact a better thing is for you to run it then give us the 'after story'. I've worked some really huge networks and can recall several times where I ran proof of concepts and sometimes test apps on laptops before committing server budget or even asking for any money from the suits. And yes I still do it every once in a while....heck Im sure your current laptop is probably faster than some old servers:-) JGitau On Mon, Dec 6, 2010 at 6:32 PM, Job Muriuki <muriukin@gmail.com> wrote:
@Aki Am good with Linux (my servers run on it) and I know my way around hardware. I will share my experience with the list once am done.
@ Alvin I don believe regular ups's can provide power for extended periods. If it the kind that accepts different sized battery banks then its better.

@Job, I forgot to mention here that ensure you can get the network card drivers of your laptop. If you are using windows server editions its pretty easy, pls check the HCL list and then decide on the machine that has them. Also check the minimum RAM and Processor requirements and you will not go wrong. Else you may get stuck if you buy any machine off the shelf.
Over and Out, rush rush....
