At work I run OpenBSD 6.1 in a VM for Request Tracker. It has 512MB RAM and it seems that may very well be overkill. At previous jobs I can ManageEngine ServiceDesk Plus and even in Linux you needed 2GB minimum just for it to get out of bed. I plan on rebuilding it with 6.6 (can't update RT because packages are too old in 6.1) and might run it on 256MB for shits and giggles. -- Aaron Mason - Programmer, open source addict I've taken my software vows - for beta or for worse
