Hardware Requirements for RHEL5 Server


My Question:

I've got a refurbished Gateway Desktop PC, running an Intel Pentium Dual Core 2.0GZ chip, with 3 Gigs of memory and a 500 GB Hard Drive. I'm guessing this is enough to load and run RHEL 5 Server.

I use the server as a test machine, running an Oracle and MySQL databases. It's never going to be use as a commercial server.

Thanks

Yes it is more than enough. The actual requirement depend on the frequency of requests.

Yeah, you could probably throw some virtual machines on there too and still achieve good performance.
