Running "The Dude"
Dude is running on Jon's W7 box. The W7 box lives on the Skiles network but has a public IP address for outside access.
I use the copy on Helena as a client so I can access a Dude server from my Macintosh. Convoluted but works for me. I just need to install a Windows VM on my Mac and should be able to run it there just as easily.
Running mapping software
Tomcat7 and Geoserver

Running Geoserver on this machine is probably a bad idea, it uses a lot of memory. So I am leaving it off for now. Same thing for Tomcat, since I only need it to run Geoserver.
