I have finally moved to a bigger place. Now I finally have some space to setup a home test lab for testing various cobbler related ideas. Currently, my new place has AT&T Uverse Internet service, a 2Wire 3600HGV Router, I have also got a few notebooks and netbooks as my first set of test hardware. Nearly all of them run Linux (CentOS, SL, Ubuntu, and Fedora), only one runs Windows XP/Home SP3.
I am sure that I am not the only who want to have a home-based test lab :-) For these who have gone down this route, do you mind sharing a bit of your setup? I am most interested in getting some cost-effective hardware for my own "small lab". I have got a few notebooks. Very proficient in RHEL, Fedora, Ubuntu, and KVM.
This is actually pretty close to my home setup network-wise. My main system currently is an AMD 6 core running SL6 (8GB RAM, 1.5TB disks), which I use to deploy kvm guests for testing cobbler development. Any system like that should be more than capable of testing cobbler in basic setups.
