Thanks Colin and David for the clarification. It basically sounds like the four GB limit will get you enough to support roughly two branches of your chosen EL flavor, say centos 5.x i386 & x86_64 or SL 4.x x86_64 & SL 5.x x86_64 or whatever it is your environment requires. Jeff Sent from

On this, can I ask the dev's how the Postgres port is progressing? The status pages haven't been updated for a lomg while and there's been little related traffic on the spacewalk-devel mailing list. (Not hassling or criticising, just want to know when I can toss Oracle.) CC On Thu, Mar 25, 2010

Correct, if I remember right, we pushed Scientific Linux 5 64bit (base, security updates, and bugfixes) and CERN Linux 5 64 bit (base and updates) to our spacewalk server with no problems. But when we started to do Fedora 12 (Everything, and updates) we passed the 4GB limit. Dave David Glaser

For Satellite I always recommend: - REAL HARDWARE (don't virtualise) - at least two cores (4 cores preferred) - at least 4gb RAM (8gb preferred) - at least 100gb HDD (depends on number of channels to be sync'ed) My experience was that moring Oracle to a different box caused about a 30% drop in per

Thanks, but it didn't answer my main question. I know I will go over the 4G limit of Oracle XE with the amount of Linux systems we have, hence the reason for the buying Oracle license comment. The main question I have is this... What kind of Proc, RAM and disk capacity do I need to run the spac
