If it is for building packages, when I built RedSleeve I used 512MB Sheeva/Guru/Dream Plug machines. As long as you attach plenty of swap on reasonable media (don't use USB sticks or SD cards, their random-write performance is _terrible_) it'll be fine. More RAM will help speed things up for sure but it isn't necessary. If you are asking for some kind of a server workload, it depends on the workload. For example, redsleeve.org runs in a 2 GHz armv5tel Marvell Kirkwood with 1GB of RAM (QNAP TS-421). For a heavier workload you might want to look at something like the Cornfed Systems' Conserver (quad core ARM, 4GB of RAM, mini ITX form factor). > I have 2 production Intel servers that I > would be interested in replacing.

I wouldn't rush headlong into EL7 in production quite yet. Let the bleeding edge adopters sort out the the most obvious issues at least on x86 first. Gordan
