Trying to install Windows on Kidechire...
Hello,
im about to install Windows 8.1 on my Kidechire box. But im just too dumb getting it -.-
Im following the instructions on https://joodle.nl/install-windows-on-a-kimsufi-server/ but when i try to run the command to download the image it always shows:
multimill@195-154-XXX-XX:~$ sudo wget -O- 'http://ktd.joodle.nl/KS8.1.gz' | gunzip | dd of=/dev/sda

No... First type sudo -i and once you've done that issue the download command (wget).

If you have any other problems, just PM me or send me an email @ joodle at joodle.nl
How well does Windows work on the kidechire?
it works, but ofc the cpu isnt very powerfull so dont expect too much..
Can it handle 5 tabs in Firefox /chrome?
(Have a semi idle Kidechire and it's Sunday.)
Only one way to find out
Yes
It should handle those 5 tabs just fine
Yep, I tried it yesterday, it was handling skype and like 10 firefox tabs.. Probably could handle more
Wouldn't it be more efficient using a VM on your computer and tunneling all its traffic through the server?
Less geeky though, I must admit
It is painful to use windows on kidechiere. Ubuntu desktop doesn't make much difference. It's all painful
For this server I recommend this Windows version:
http://www.oldgames.sk/en/game/windows-31/download/7451/
Is this compatible with 2GB ram?
Usually the max RAM is 256 MB.
Micro XP, Tiny 7
I wonder if OSX is possible it works in VMWare
VMWARE server that is
At the very least you could setup a container with it on the server. But the performance will be very bad.
Joodle has a how to make image method
It will be great if someone has XP image of this server which can be installed as Joodle way.
Still looking windows XP or Windows 7 image for this. Thanks in advance if someone please share this.
