Right off the assembly line
Hi all,
We are required to build a media server for a hospital which will be doing two tasks:
1. Caching web content using Apache and Squid and presenting it to the end users on their bedside terminals
2. Copying movies from another server. A VLC player based service will be used to stream this copied content onto the bedside terminals of patients
Now I want to know what will be the specifications (hardware, software, Operating System, RAM, disk space, machine used etc) for this media server. Anybody got any ideas on this?
Regards,
Irfan
My research shows that at lease for the OS part, Ubuntu or Windows OS would be a good choice. What is your opinion about this? I also want to know your opinion about the other specifications that I asked in the original message.
