I need to setup a eGroupware Server for non-profit organisation (a initiave of people who live in the same quarter then I do)

its 8 people in max. to expect beeing online conurrent in peak.
Thats the worst case.

I tried it on a Ultra Sparc 5 with 333 Mhz 512MB. It was fast enaugh.

would a ultra sparc 2 with 300 MHz 256 MB also good enaugh for it and runs gentoo on it (well, why not...but....someone tried it ?)

This Box has only Apache, Mysql and eGroupware to handle, just realy dedicated to that. Nothing else would run on it. No Mail (the users would use the internal messanger of eGroupware), to ftp (means also no FileManagement by eGroupware), realy stripped down to the core of eGroupware.

What do you think ?

A Ultra Sparc II, 300 MHz 256 MB would be able to handle it,
or just to slow ?

krgds,
Frank

Really depends on the load.

If you dont have more than, say, 40 users hitting hit 24/7 then an ultra2 300 with 256 -should- be enough.

consider ebay for a 2nd CPU and another 256 megs of ram, just for good measure.

Thanks,

I just bought a Ultra 2 with 2 x 200 MHz CPUs and 256MB ,4g harddisc
As I know it can't be more the 8 users concurrent in peak,
I guess it should be good enough, anyway.
I paid 99Euro, I guess that is a fair price.

Thanks,
Cheers,
Frank
