I don't have a good clue as to what the 'minimum' is.
However, I am running two small systems primarily for
development / testing work. Both seem to work well
and are loaded down with quite a bit.
System 1
Tecra 8000 with 256 MB memory and 7 GB hard drive
OS - RedHat Linux 6.2
Apache 1.3.22 / mod_ssl
Tomcat 4.0.1
cocoon 2.0.2-dev
Docbook HTML conversion
jetspeed
turbine development kit
w-agora (PHP-based discussion group)
bugzilla
Postgresql 7.1.3
MySQL 3.22.32
ColdFusion 4.52
There are other things running on this system as well,
including mod_php, mod_perl, and a CVS server. I am
looking to install JBoss for J2EE services.
System 2
Tecra 8100 with 384 MB memory and 11.2 GB hard drive
OS - Windows 2000 Professional
Apache 1.3.22 or IIS 5
Tomcat 4.0.1
Cocoon 2.0.2-dev
Docbook HTML conversion
Jetspeed
Turbine Development Kit
Phorum (PHP-based discussion group software)
MySQL 3.23.39
Oracle 8i
ColdFusion 4.52
There are several other things running on this system
as well, including PHP, ActiveState Perl, and
ComponentSoftware's RCS for Windows. It's a bit
cranky on booting, but certainly a useable system.
I'm considering shutting down Oracle 8i for the moment
and installing Postgresql. This will allow me to
migrate complete systems between the two environments.
Since both of these systems are laptops, they make
great portable development environments.
With the proper editors I can do a lot of damage. I
have emacs on both systems, including the XAE
environment for XML, and the JDE for Java. I use GIMP
for graphics production.
With the exceptions of ColdFusion and Oracle, this
entire environment is freely available.
I hope this helps. It's absolutely amazing what you
can do with freely available software. And when it
comes time to run the developed applications on a
commercial implementation, the fact that these tools
produce standard packages makes implementation quite
easy.
Just my two cents.
