Galleon

Downloaded galleon source to /usr/local/lib/Galleon
Created symbolic link at /usr/share/galleon to /usr/local/lib/Galleon/
Created symbolic link at /etc/init.d/galleon to /usr/share/galleon/bin/galleon.2.5.4
Installed default-jre (apt-get install default-jre)

Previously had to disable ipV6 but the following is a better work-around:

vi /usr/share/galleon/conf/wrapper.conf

Add this line:

# Java Additional Parameters
wrapper.java.additional.1=-Djava.net.prefer.IPv4Stack=true

Save file....
/etc/init.d/galleon start

Add to startup scripts...
update-rc.d galleon defaults

Vmware Server 2

What a nightmare...

Downloaded vmware server v2 (64 bit)
Put install into /usr/local/install and ran vmware-install.pl
Install fails everywhere. Primary problems are incorrect dependencies to rebuild vmci,vsock, etc.
Following custom kernel build instructions corrected dependencies.
A known bug for the vsock compilation exists. A patch is available.
Applied patch and ran /usr/bin/vmware-config.pl
Success.
To access the new vmware console, https://127.0.0.1:8333/
Vista SIRAS VM doesn't have bridged networking anymore.
Found reference to issues when moving VM's to another host.
Rebuilding Vista VM cleared up the problem.

File System Layout

Using Ext3 on the OS drive because it's in every kernel and easily recoverable.

sdb1 / (root) 4GB Ext3
sdb2 (swap) 2GB Ext3
sdb3 /usr 12GB Ext3
sdb4 (extended)
sdb5 /var 4GB Ext3
sdb6 /tmp 12GB Ext3

/tmp is large because it's used as temp space for video encoding. /usr is a bit large for my needs but is sized to allow for future expansion of the OS codebase and /usr/local. /home is kept in root for the initial setup but will be moved later.

I also have a filesystem to be mounted as /share and another as /share/video.
I also have a filesystem to be mounted as /home
These filesystems exist on other drives.
