Good morning list (for those, where it it really is morning)
Just a short question, i never read about (and perhaps i missed it) - is xen still limited to a minimum of 256 mb ram per domain? Or is it 256 mb ram for the hypervisor?
in fact, i would like to get just an older p3/800 mhz box mit 256 mb ram running a linux and a freebsd-domain, each on minimum-install...so perhaps this would be a stress-test :-D
Thanks, Roger

The 256 meg of RAM was for doing a guest install -- now that I've fixed some of the memory usage in anaconda, I should bump that down some. You're still going to be running pretty slim if you only have 256 megs of ram in the box, though

http://www.freebsd.org/releases/6.0R/installation-i386.html FreeBSD for the i386 requires a 486 or better processor and at least 24 MB of RAM.
http://fedora.redhat.com/docs/release-notes/fc5/test2-latest-en/sn-arch-spec... 7.2.1.1.1. Memory Requirements
This section lists the memory required to install Fedora Core 5 test2.
This list is for 32-bit x86 systems:
-
Minimum for text-mode: 64MB -
Minimum for graphical: 192MB -
Recommended for graphical: 256MB
With only 256MB total of memory, you going to be pushing it :)
If you only allocate 24MB to freebsd, I can't begin to imagine how bad its going to run either.
But over all, I guess it word work, painfully but it would work

in each case, i gonna run everything (dom0 and all domU) in text mode, i do not want to spend cpu-time on gui-issues...so my hope is to give dom0 128 mb and 64 mb rams....perhaps if i sing loud enough, i get the money for further ram :-) at least 128mb ram per each would be enough.
btw. freebsd will run nothing else than a jabber-server with 50 users...and for a pure linux-firewall, i think 64 megs are enough...

Stress-Test? ;-)
