About
Advantages of OpenERP Appliance
The weakest link of the free of charge OpenERP All-In-One for Linux is its dependence on the network and on launchpad.net repository, failing in case the Internet or Launchpad connection gets in trouble and requiring then a new deployment from scratch (with a fresh install of Ubuntu Linux included). Also, this All-In-One installer for Linux lasts longer than 40 minutes, downloading all the required python libraries and OpenERP source code. OpenERP All-In-One for Windows is easy-to-use and fast-to-deploy but is not update-able and not recommended for production either.
On the other hand, the purchase of these inexpensive OpenERP Appliances will save you precious time and money by including OpenERP source code without the need of an Internet connection for downloading OpenERP. The full installation processends in less than 5 minutes, and can be deployed on virtual machines, in cloud computing infrastructures or installed in physical computers. The appliances also offer a professional well tuned and tested installation with ease of use, latest OpenERP updates with full logging, and guarantee of success without licence costs. Actually this is the number one choice for mission-critical computing (production), testing and demonstrations.
Now you can get the performance, reliability, scalability and usability of propietary ERPs for up to 99,99 percent less!! 🙂

Where to purchase and download OpenERP Appliance
‘Add to cart’ buttons available here via e-junkie.com purchases. PayPal, credit card and debit card payments.
The downloading should take around 9 minutes. Bear in mind that any download is only as fast as the slowest link in the network route, which is usually the buyer’s own ISP connection — e.g., a 500MB file would take several hours, and a 2GB file would take a day or two, to download to completion over a 256kbps basic residential DSL connection. Files are zipped for Simple File Verification.

Key points
- A pre-packaged Installable Live CD OpenERP server on IA 32-bit Ubuntu Linux: an ISO image which installs on both bare metal (I.e., a non-virtualized physical machine) and virtual machines, including VMware, Xen, VirtualBox, and KVM. This image can also run live in non-persistent demo mode
- From the Desktop to the data center: deploys on both physical and virtual machines and in cloud computing infrastructure
- Based on TurnKey Linux Virtual Appliance Library
- Administrators gain an easy method of setting up a dedicated OpenERP server
- OpenERP branches included: openerp-server, openerp-web, openerp-client, addons, extra-addons.
- Apply latest OpenERP bug fixes available on Launchpad.net repository via openerp-update script in ‘openerp’ linux account.
- Its web based tools make it perfect for cloud computing and hosting services
- Desktop appliances offer a GUI Desktop to developers, testers and newbies
- Server appliances lack of GUI Desktop, being more suitable for cloud computing and hosting services
- Open source means no license cost, no vendor lock-in and no forced upgrades, resulting in lower costs and higher return on investment
Web based Tools (screenshot)
- OpenERP Web interface
- Web Shell: a web-based ssh shell. It runs on any browser capable of JavaScript and AJAX. You can use it from any computer or iPhone/smartphone
- Webmin: a web-based configuration tool for system administration. User accounts, Apache, DNS, software packages, backup, file sharing and much more can be configured remotely using a web browser
- phpPgAdmin: a web-based administration tool for PostgreSQL
- TLKBAM: TurnKey Linux Backup and Migration, a simple and powerful system-level backup (not yet available on postgresql appliances like this one. Postgresql support is in the works according to turnkeylinux.org FAQ)

Physical Machines where openerp appliance has been deployed successfully
- HP ProLiant MicroServer AMD Turion II N40L/2GB/250GB. Due to its lack of a DVD drive, this openerp appliance needs to be installed from USB, for which UNetbootin can be used.
- etc.
Desktop virtualization tips and Howtos
- Install in a physical machine if you’re not familiar with virtualization
- Burn the ISO image to a DVD: The installation process will be much faster if the appliance is installed from a DVD
- Documentation: Example of how to deploy this appliance on VirtualBox (also applies to VMware): Read “Third, install the generic ISO image (#2 alternative)“ (external link)
- Deploy on the latest free of charge VMware player for windows (VMware Fusion on Mac OS X). VMware player default settings allow to reach the appliance from your windows browser, while virtualbox requires customization.
- The desktop appliance runs LXDE, a light weight X11 window manager suitable for netbooks
- VirtualBox and VMware Player can be installed on the same Windows system and run simultaneously.
- Desktop Appliances on VirtualBox or VMware Player: Set up full screen resolution, clipboard (copy/paste) support, and shared folders between the Virtual Machine and the Windows Host. Dual Monitor configuration: one monitor with a full screen Virtual Machine (openerpappliance), and the other monitor (i.e. laptop’s monitor) with the Windows host.
- VMware Player Settings:
- How to reach the Virtual Machine from a windows host: Its default network configuration (NAT) will allow you to reach the virtual machine from your windows host.
- How to reach the Virtual Machine from the LAN: Set up a Bridged network adapter. A DHCP server available in the LAN is required, like i.e. your wireless router.
- Desktop Appliance: At least 700MB of VM memory required.
- VirtualBox Settings:
- How to reach the Virtual Machine from a windows host: VirtualBox requires a non default configuration. Set up two network adapters:
- NAT adapter, required to reach Internet from inside the Virtual Machine. This is the default adapter.
- Host-only adapter, required to reach the Virtual Machine from the windows host. It has to be added manually.
- How to reach the Virtual Machine from the LAN: Set up a Bridged network adapter. A DHCP server available in the LAN is required, like i.e. your wireless router.
- Desktop Appliance: At least 700MB of VM memory required. Select 128MB of display memory.
- How to reach the Virtual Machine from a windows host: VirtualBox requires a non default configuration. Set up two network adapters:
- KVM on Linux hosts Settings:
- Desktop Appliance and virt-manager: Set up “vga 9MB” as default video adaptor before starting the KVM virtual machine. This fixes major display issues.

I’m entertained by the ice cream mrakes…I have two bowls, but only one actual machine! Same model, too. :)I wish we had a quasi-useless closet I could do this to, we only have the pantry to work with (well, that and a gazillion cabinets!). The original coat closet in our house is being ditched for something more useful, and besides it would have been too far from the kitchen.

Virtually everyone is covered by some form of personal insurance, whether from the private sector or as a beneficiary of government benefits. Such coverage is obtained in a variety of ways. Often QuotesChimp is paid for directly by contacting an authorized salesperson and paying the price of the premium. Insurance is also obtained in�directly, often as a benefit of employment or union membership after others have negotiated the coverage and price. At still other times, we receive insurance as a legal right based upon our in�dividual circumstances (e.g., Medicare).

Write more, thats all I have to say. Literally, it seems as though you
relied on the video to make your point. You definitely know what youre talking about, why waste
your intelligence on just posting videos to your weblog when you could be giving us something informative to read?
