hardware requirements

Post by Tracey2031 » 2014/07/13 18:50:49

What are the recommended hardware requirements (Ram & Disk Space) for CentOS?
I basically want to use it for dial-up internet access.
Thanks, Tracey
I was trying CentOS6.5 and ended needing >1GB so Kdump would not fail to work.
Also CentOS seems slow/sluggish to respond, but these may be due to my trying CentOS in the vmWorkstation environment.

You don't need kdump.
C7 needs more RAM then C6.
Memory requirements are in the release notes.
