Hi Mark, Thank you for contacting us about the beta program. I will be releasing the EDEX data server and the CAVE client as two separate packages for the beta. While your 8 GB machine meets the specs for a CAVE workstation, that amount of memory is too low for EDEX, as the server will be running two JVMs at about 2 GB of memory each, plus PostgreSQL and the Qpid message broker. It may be that Unidata offers a remote EDEX server for our beta testers to connect to, which would allow you to install the CAVE client without installing the resource-heavy EDEX data server. Don't hold me to that, there's still a lot of work to do. I'll know more about this in the next few weeks after we test multiple remote connections. -Michael James Unidata > Hi, > The School of Marine and Atmospheric Sciences at Stony Brook University > would like to be considered as a test site for the AWIPS II deployment.
