Zope on Cobalt RaQ servers
Hello, I have been in correspondence with my dialup ISP about co-locating with him so that I could find out my costs to eventually deploy my website. He gave me a list of options one of which was the Cobalt RaQ. What are Zope users experiences running Zope on these devices? As much as is possible and when it is possible I would like my setup to be Z all the way. Zope, ZODB, ZServer, etc. For what I want these devices look like they would be plenty sufficient. What would be the optimum amount of RAM for a Zope server like this? A single website using Linux, Zope, ZServer and possibly MailMan. Would 32mb be sufficient or would 64mb be necessary?

I can say Python and Zope/pcgi compile and run on the Cobalt RaQ, but I experienced a number of serious issues which I have not resolved yet. I assume this is my own inexperience with Zope, not a problem with the platform, but I don't know for sure. ZServer was not stable enough to be useful for me. You can search this list archive if you are interested in seeing the troubles I ran into. Some of them are: Sun, 25 Apr 1999 15:50:08 -0600 (MDT) [Zope] <module 'Main'> Sun, 2 May 1999 14:51:22 -0600 (MDT) [Zope] ZMySQLDA install problem Sun, 2 May 1999 15:10:33 -0600 (MDT) [Zope] ZSQLMethods broken This isn't a dig at the Zope crew at all (keep up the great work), just my own experiences, and realizing that I need to be much more of a Python hacker to get Zope working well, especially on a funky platform like the Cobalt, or that maybe the next version of Zope will be more user friendly. The RaQ itself is a little underpowered, but is very trim and low-power, so I would expect the ISP should give you a good deal on colocating a Cobalt vs. a PC or other type of hardware.
