Hi Joshua, For testing purposes, Fedora can run on fairly minimal hardware/VMs. I don't have an absolute minimum for you, but I can say that we routinely run system tests on small EC2 VMs (1.7GB memory, with the equivalent of a single 1.0-1.2 GHz 2007 Opteron or 2007 Xeon processor) running 32-bit Ubuntu.
If you're planning for a test host where performance isn't a big concern, I think something similar should be fine. If you're planning to run an external database (like postgresql or mysql, as opposed to the bundled derby database), a little extra memory would be good. - Chris On Wed, Feb 16, 2011 at 11:26 AM, Joshua Gomez <[email protected]> wrote: > I am new to Fedora and am planning on setting up a test environment for > Fedora.
