System Requirements

Minimum:

  • Intel 386sx or compatible CPU

  • 4MB of RAM

My recommended minimum configuration:

  • Intel 486DX2/66 or compatible CPU

  • 32MB of RAM

  • At least 1GB of free disk space for a full install (with X-Windows), in which third-party applications will be added on a workstation. Servers may require much more space, depending on number of users and the services the server is providing.

In addition, if you plan to run the X-Windows system, I recommend the following additional minimum system configuration:

  • Monitor that can do 1024×768 resolution (comfortably)

  • Supported SVGA video card (see video card list) with at least 1MB of video RAM

  • Three-button mouse
