I had a need to verify a new puppet configuration and wanted my own puppet master and client server to do this. And, I wanted to be able to work on this when I was mobile.
Solution: Run a debian XEN host and two Virtual Machines on the ASUS X54C laptop. Here are my notes for making this work.

The ASUS X54C laptop is our go-to machine when we are mobile. Our earlier article described how we made it dual boot Windows 7 and Debian Linux.
The ASUS comes with a RaLink Device 5390 wireless card and support for that card is not included in Debian Linux.

The ASUS X54C laptop is a recent but key piece of gear at prokopyshen.com. It was purchased to be a dual boot Windows 7 and Linux workstation and these are my notes on how I got it going.

I paid $259 for mine and I can tell you I am very impressed with the amount of computer I got for this price.
