Hi Christof Of my experience I can say that we have a old PIII 1.133 Mhz with 512 Mb of memory, which to the end of one month began to give problems, solution: - more memory (upgrade to 1,5 Gb), better performance of the Internet (change the ethernet cards) and a better disc (bigger rotation, better time of access/writing). Soon I will be able to say if the behaviour improved or not. For coincidence the problems began after upgrade for CentOS 5.2, when the old PC return to the assets takes the yum updatedb disconnected, just in case.
