I am currently running OpenACS 3.2.5 on Redhat 7.1 using the RPM installation set from Jonathan Marsden <b>(great job in the latest version)</b>. My hardware is 1GHz Athalon with 3-256mb Dimms, and a 30gb Western Digital HD. I have a 10/100mb 3 Com NIC on a Roadrunner cable modem through a 10/100 Linksys 4 port BEFSR41 router.

I run the following virtual websites:

The above sites are served with Apache Server, utilize php packages of phpweblog and one uses the phpNuke package. All 4 tie into a MySQL (I know 😊...)DB. On port :8000 (<a href=

I occasionally run an X session for editing files or grabbing a file for download with Mozilla, other than that I don't use the machine for anything else. This configuration has been quite satisfactory for my needs so far...I have had no complaints from anyone, but I must admit there isn't any "dynamite" content yet. I DO have about 30 to 40 unique connections a day and have noticed a slowdown or stressing of the system. In fact when monitoring CPU usage in an X session, my CPU shows about 6 to 20% utilization and memory peaks at 30%...

I have $300 (cpu+motherboard) $160 (RAM) $210 (Case+power-supply+2 extra cooling fans+floppy+CD-Rom+LS-120)and $80 hardrive.

I don't know if this helps, but hit my sites and see how they are for speed if you desire...
