Yeah, well, some of us have many servers more than 4 yrs old; so I'm assuming that three, four years from now, with CentOS 8 or 9, it'll do the same, and want maybe 800M. Plan for the future, y'know.
If the future continues anything like the past, you'll be be able to buy something new with twice the speed and 10x the space by then and be better off starting over than allocating more than you need today.
a) You think I, or a *lot* of other folks, are going to do that at home? (Please - I'm trying to get my fiancee to at *least* go from *shudder* Vista to Win7) b) I'm a federal contractor, on site. You think the Republicans in Congress are going to increase our budget, to replace all servers over three or four years old?
