What cpus are you using?
I would recommend dual 2Ghz+ for the cpus and increase your memory to
3Gig, 200G disk space is enough but watch your "IO wait" if you're
sharing the spindle
With other applications.
Spacewalk 0.8 installs perfectly on CentOS 5.4 and reposync will sync
CentOS channels without any issues. I have included some bash functions
below to create
And sync channels
Once it's all setup, keep in mind that you cannot use CentOS (5.3 or
5.4) clients with Spacewalk...."yum update" and other "package updates"
WILL FAIL.
I would suggest you stick to a simple apache/centos repo.
Funny thing is...Fedora 12 appears to work 100%, ie you can run "yum
update" on a Fedora 12 client that is registered to Spacewalk 0.8
running on CentOS 5.4
