Hi Federico, I'm not sure what the minimal cpu and memory requirements for heartbeat-2 are, but perhaps someone the linux-ha-dev list has some idea, I have Cced them. In the mean time, could you supply some information on ammount of CPU and memory your machine has. -- Horms H: http://www.vergenet.net/~horms/ W: http://www.valinux.co.jp/en/ -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
