Which Linux should you choose? We recommend OpenSUSE but you may also use RedHat, Fedora, Ubuntu or other versions.
If you run it natively, it will run slightly faster and graphics will work better. Since ArahWeave is Linux based, you can run Linux directly or in a virtual machine. On a PC, you can choose Intel or AMD processor. This is easy to check, if your Mac dates from 2006 or later, then it is probably Intel based. On Mac, it is easy ArahWave will run on any Mac, as long as it is based on Intel processor. If you need to share your work with several designers, and like having backup in cloud, we recommend storing all your CAD data in Dropbox. If your looms are in network, you can send designs directly from CAD to the loom using TCP/IP network. You may also choose to replace the floppy on your jacquard controller with floppy emulator, and use USB pen drive to transfer your designs. If you need floppy to transfer the designs into production, you need an external USB floppy drive. You can also use laser printers, cost per page is usually lower than ink jet, but so is the print quality.Ī three button wheel mouse will allow you easy access to all program’s functions. Photo line of printers with 6 inks will give you better printout than 4 color printers. High resolution Epson ink jet printer is recommended. Nowadays 4 core processors are relatively inexpensive, chose 4 cores instead of 2 cores, if you can. So the more you have, the better it will work. If your CPU is multicore, they will all be used.
The rest will be used for the operating system and other programs.
Software needs about 100 MB for installation, and you may need an extra 50 GB for your data. If your hard drive is based on SSD technology, program will work considerably faster. Nowadays the HD resolution (1920×1080) is quite affordable, and will give you enough space to express your ideas. For comfortable work, bigger screen and high resolution graphics is recommended.
