Development System

Requirements

If you want to build your own packages you will need a development system. As the openthinclient OS is based on Ubuntu 6.06 (Dapper Drake) it is strongly recommended that you use the same base platform.

Install Ubuntu 6.06

Nothing really special, a standard desktop installation will do. Just think about some hard disk space for your development requirements, whether you use an entire computer or just a virtual machine is up to you, we suggest that you use about 10 GB of free hard disk space and about 512 MB of RAM.
