Hi -
I'm currently running my Hobbit server/Apache on Linux-based Dell Dimension desktop with the following:
grep MemTotal /proc/meminfo
MemTotal: 2075380 kB
grep name /proc/cpuinfo
model name : Intel(R) Pentium(R) 4 CPU 3.40GHz
It's not even breathing hard. It's just sitting there idle for the most part. (CPU load 0.02, physical mem used 35%, real mem 12%, nothing ever swapped)
I found some older Sun hardware in the lab that I'm considering using as a replacement, but I don't know how it's specs would compare. I'm not familiar with Sun/Sparc hardware all that much. Can anyone comment on if what I've scrounged up might be adequate? At most, I'd expect to eventually monitor several dozen servers, but probably no more than 100.
Ultra 5 Ultra 10 (350 MGz, 512 MB RAM) E420R (2 - 450 MHz CPUs, 2 GB RAM)
Thanks!
