I tried once to compile some 6.x.x version of Postgresql on a 486SX with 33 Mhz and 8 MB RAM. This was a little too painful I thought to be considered OK. Anything better than that (more RAM in particular) should work though (my experience). A 486DX 66 with 16 MB worked fine for me.

[GENERAL] Still wondering about random numbers...
I am running on OpenBSD and Linux, both of which have cryptographic-quality RNGs built in. When I call RANDOM() in PG, do I get the old C library random numbers, which are not very random, or do I get high-quality random numbers from the crypto-RNG that's built in? Any sugestions for getting high-quality random numbers? ---(end of broadcast)--- TIP 3: if posting/reading through Usenet, please send an appropriate subscribe-nomail command to [EMAIL PROTECTED] so that your message can get through to the mailing list cleanly
