I've just become aware of SlimServer, and it looks to be a product that fits exactly a need that I am looking to fill. I've been browsing the fora to determine what sort of horsepower the hardware needs to have to run the server-side software.
Frankly, I'm amazed at the amount of horsepower that some people use. Saturating a 50 or 100Mb Ethernet takes almost nothing (say, a 200MHz PII). As far as I can tell, there is only a php server and maybe a database (or is the filesystem used?) in addition, which shouldn't take that much unless one has a huge collection. What is a reasonable minimum for a two or three users? FWIW, I was considering running it on an old Sun Ultra 5 with about 256 to 512MB RAM on FreeBSD with enough disk space off an auxilliary controller. Is there any reason this should not work adequately?
