I had done some research and found a calibre virtual appliance made for VirtualBox. It is based on Fedora 10 and uses XFCE interface.
I had hopes of simply converting it somehow to my ESXi server at home, and I was not able to using the typical ovf import. I had to use it's powerful live import tool, as in, I makes a duplicate while the system is powered on.
This looked as if it worked, but obviously some thins went wrong.
I will definitely look in your manual, but I wanted the smallest footprint I could have running a simple instance of calibre. It would mostly be for content server purposes and possibly to have my kobo reader plugged into it at times to update some news headlines.
Where in the manual should I be looking? Does it give some precise instructions on which distro is best and what additions I need? (i.e. Scripts, guy to use, etc)
Thanks, and have a safe a happ holiday season. All the best.
Peace
