Provide guidance on which Linux distro would be the best for this demo environment. 2. Configure the Linux VM for remote desktop access (CLI and GUI) 3.

Download and install the Apache OFbiz software (including the supporting components: Java SDK) OFbiz is an opensource ERP application. More information can be found here ([login to view URL]). See the quick start section. Looking for an experienced Linux admin to help me execute the tasks listed above. This is a time-boxed engagement. I would like to engage the services of a Linux admin for two to three hours to walk me through this process.
