最近在自己的筆記本電腦上安裝和實驗WAS，最開始使用的版本爲8.5.5.x；
但是電腦的配置不高，主要是物理內存只有6GB，要開多個VM做Cluster的話，運行非常緩慢，基本上跑不起來。
考慮到6.1是一個經典的版本，除了Liberty，其與8的差別不大，做Cluster應該可以。
6.1已經EoS了，其介質在公網上基本找不到，而且其版本也劃分爲幾個，不同的平臺/操作系統上的介質也不一樣，
下面列出其主要的版本和ND（Network Deployment）版在Windows平臺上的介質：
The available packages of WebSphere Application Server V6.1:
Express, Base, Network Deployment.
至於什麼trial,community,hypervisor,zOS，一開始搜索WAS版本和資料的時候，在這些信息上浪費了大量的時間和精力，感覺是非主流，不清楚是幹嘛的，也不想了解。
此時真的想問問WAS的產品經理，搞這麼多版本幹什麼，我們、至少是我被折騰得夠嗆！！！
8.5.5.x要稍微改善點了，基本上一個安裝包就OK了，安裝介質有2GB左右、比較大，但是對比佔用一點磁盤容量和寶貴的時間，是非常值得的！
6.1ND在Windows上的介質：
