What's the hardware requirements for openSUSE 10.2 in text mode only? I have a Pentium II 300MHz with 192 MB RAM, which I'm going to use as a web and ftp/nfs/samba server. Does it have enough horsepower, or should I look for another distro?
It depends on what sort of load you expect, but I've got a Pentium 233MMX with 128M running 10.2 just fine.
Fair enough. You're not running beagle or ZMD on it are you?
I'll have to check - ZMD almost certainly. It's actually a vanilla openSUSE 10.2 install.
What packages do you have installed? Or if the list's too long, how many?
I think the total install was about 1.6G, but I don't know how many packages - is there an easy way to look it up?
What package management system do you use?
Vanilla YaST. Granted, it is slow and when running in just 128M, it's swapping quite a bit too. With 196M it's fine. This machine is meant to replace our current firewall/gateway which is an ancient 486DX2 with 24M running suse 7.1. It's doing perfectly fine, but we want to upgrade to a more recent suse version. /Per Jessen, Zürich -- http://www.spamchek.com/ - managed email security.
