<br>Dale and I are working on a single-click install Erlang developers<br>platform based on the Ubuntu liveCD that comes preloaded with development<br>tools...<br><br>This uses the Ubuntu Customization Kit to layer a small slice o'Erlang
<br>over Dapper Drake.<br><br>There are a couple of problems with Erlang/Mnesia under the ECC - the most<br>noticable one is how you get your data backed off. We are also working on<br>an Mnesia cluster management console that would allow you to set up 2 or
<br>three ECC instances and distribute the data - and then do a table dump off<br>the Amazon storage cloud on a daily basis...<br><br>*Eventually* this stuff will be open sourced...<br><br>Gordon<br><br>><br>> On 7 Oct 2007, at 17:37, Dale Harvey wrote:
