Mac,
I am running BX on two dell 1850's, one with 4 gig of ram (5106R) and
one with 7 gig of Ram (5108R)
The machines only cost me ~ $350 each and I am very very happy at this
point.
I don't even feel the need to go with a more powerful machine.... yet
that is...
I'm sure on e of these days they will both start to slow down and I will
need to upgrade but for now the 1850's have plenty of power.
My next move will be to buy hardware that can deal with virtualization
which I am guessing would take it's toll on my current hardware?
All that being said....... I defer to the real pros. on this list.
Michael, Chris, and Gerald
I also have test BX box in my basement.
Below is a snip from the GUI showing the hardware setup.
As you can see you don't need much to make it run.

Hi All...
What is the minimum & ideal PC specification ?
To try it out: I've just tried to install:
BlueOnyx-5107R-CentOS-6.3-20120903.iso
...onto my old but little used PC...
Processor: P3 - 555Mhz
HDD: 15GB
Ram: 256MB Dim (max)
I'm new to Servers, so I was not sure which option to choose from the
install menu,
so I selected the option for HDD less than 20GB
But it then said it couldn't install because there was insufficient Ram.
It would have helped and saved a lot of time, if this basic info had
been on your website.
Thanks Mac
