Hi all,
I've stumbled on a problem, on a test machine, using openSUSE 11.1 x86_64 system with 512MB of RAM. This test was just to confirm a friends claim that he was unable to get a working server with that kind of hardware.
That is strange. Right now, I have a working 11.0 server on an AMD K6-2 450 w/256 meg. (using a text desktop). 08:40 fax~> free -tm total used free shared buffers cached Mem: 250 231 19 0 52 133 -/+ buffers/cache: 44 205 Swap: 1035 3 1031 Total: 1285 234 1051 As you can see, the kernel and running applications take a core 44 meg to run. IceWM adds less than 10 meg to that. 08:40 fax~> sudo hwinfo --cpu 01: None 00.0: 10103 CPU [Created at cpu.301] Unique ID: rdCR.j8NaKXDZtZ6 Hardware Class: cpu Arch: Intel Vendor: "AuthenticAMD" Model: 5.8.12 "AMD-K6(tm) 3D processor" Features: fpu,vme,de,pse,tsc,msr,cx8,pge,mmx,syscall,3dnow,k6_mtrr,up Clock: 450 MHz BogoMips: 903.71 Cache: 64 kb Config Status: cfg=new, avail=yes, need=no, active=unknown Mind you, this isn't the fastest box on earth, but plenty fast enough for a hylafax fax server. If I want a gui, I just run icewm. In addition to hylafax, I have the following services running: 08:44 fax~> chkconfig --list | grep on acpid 0:off 1:off 2:on 3:on 4:off 5:on 6:off alsasound 0:off 1:off 2:on 3:on 4:off 5:on 6:off auditd 0:off 1:off 2:off 3:on 4:off 5:on 6:off avahi-daemon 0:off 1:off 2:off 3:on 4:off 5:on 6:off avahi-dnsconfd 0:off 1:off 2:off 3:on 4:off 5:on 6:off consolekit 0:off 1:off 2:on 3:on 4:off 5:on 6:off cron 0:off 1:off 2:on 3:on 4:off 5:on 6:off cups 0:off 1:off 2:on 3:on 4:off 5:on 6:off dbus 0:off 1:off 2:on 3:on 4:off 5:on 6:off earlysyslog 0:off 1:off 2:off 3:off 4:off 5:on 6:off earlyxdm 0:off 1:off 2:off 3:off 4:off 5:on 6:off fbset 0:off 1:on 2:on 3:on 4:off 5:on 6:off haldaemon 0:off 1:off 2:on 3:on 4:off 5:on 6:off irq_balancer 0:off 1:on 2:on 3:on 4:off 5:on 6:off kbd 0:off 1:on 2:on 3:on 4:off 5:on 6:off S:on lm_sensors 0:off 1:off 2:on 3:on 4:off 5:on 6:off named 0:off 1:off 2:off 3:on 4:off 5:on 6:off network 0:off 1:off 2:on 3:on 4:off 5:on 6:off nscd 0:off 1:off 2:off 3:on 4:off 5:on 6:off portmap 0:off 1:off 2:off 3:on 4:off 5:on 6:off postfix 0:off 1:off 2:off 3:on 4:off 5:on 6:off powersaved 0:off 1:off 2:on 3:on 4:off 5:on 6:off random 0:off 1:off 2:on 3:on 4:off 5:on 6:off resmgr 0:off 1:off 2:on 3:on 4:off 5:on 6:off rpmconfigcheck 0:off 1:off 2:off 3:off 4:off 5:off 6:off setserial 0:off 1:off 2:off 3:off 4:off 5:off 6:off B:on skeleton.compat 0:off 1:off 2:off 3:off 4:off 5:off 6:off smartd 0:off 1:off 2:on 3:on 4:off 5:on 6:off smbfs 0:off 1:off 2:off 3:on 4:off 5:on 6:off smpppd 0:off 1:off 2:on 3:on 4:off 5:on 6:off splash 0:off 1:on 2:on 3:on 4:off 5:on 6:off S:on splash_early 0:off 1:off 2:on 3:on 4:off 5:on 6:off sshd 0:off 1:off 2:off 3:on 4:off 5:on 6:off stopblktrace 0:off 1:on 2:on 3:on 4:off 5:on 6:off syslog 0:off 1:off 2:on 3:on 4:off 5:on 6:off xdm 0:off 1:off 2:off 3:off 4:off 5:on 6:off So if 11.0 will run in 256meg, 11.1 should run in 512meg.
