A low-traffic Fedora instance without a huge number of datastream versions or inline datastreams should run just fine on an m1.small instance, with memory to spare. I think you'd be pushing your luck to try to put it on a t1.micro with another service and expect consistently acceptable performance. I haven't tried the latter; just wouldn't recommend it. It's hard to say what the baseline memory requirement for a Fedora instance is for sure, but I think it's somewhere in the neighborhood of 200-800mb. One m1.small instance I've had running for the last couple weeks (running in the bundled Tomcat, with Derby selected at the database) is sitting at 134m RES and 784m VIRT. - Chris ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ EditLive Enterprise is the world's most technically advanced content authoring tool.
