Hallo, what's the minimum of hardware to develop Zope-sites(only for development). I'd like to know because I want to buy a laptop and don't want to spend much money ! Thanks.
I have been able run (not by choice) a Zope 2.1.6 installation on RH 6.1 with a Pent 166 and 12 MB or RAM. Not very fast but it ran and kept running. J

Zope is not very resource intensive. I can't specify the _bare_ minimum configuration, but I can tell you what I use for development and am satisfied with: 500MHz Celeron (but I'm sure you could get by with 400MHz or less) Windows 98 96MB Ram (I bet you could get by with less, but I wouldn't skimp in this area) 18GB Disk (but I've only used 3GB so far, even tho I have about ten versions of Zope installed for testing purposes) Of course, your application may have additional requirements. My only problem with this configuration is that I am developing a Zope product that exhibits unexpectedly different behavior on some Linux systems, and I can't test on Linux. I should probably use some of the extra disk space to make a Linux partition. -- Loren ----- Original Message ----- From: "Sven Hohage" <sven.hohage@zeitspringer.de> To: <zope@zope.org> Sent: August 08, 2000 08:13 AM Subject: [Zope] Hardware minimum for development

Now I'm developping on PC with 48 MB RAM, and it's too little for me. It's because I'm working on one machine - Zope, X-Window, Netscape with few windows open, sometimes Apache and Gimp are running together. I'm satisfied with my CPU - k6-2/300MHz is sufficient for me. I'm going to buy some memory in few next days, I think additional 32MB will be enough. ololo@zeus.polsl.gliwice.pl /--------------------------------------\ | `long long long' is too long for GCC | \--------------------------------------/

psssst.. here's a tip. I used to run out of RAM all the time when developing in Zope via Netscape. It's partly due to Netscape having some huge gaping memory leaks. I have, however, discovered how to avoid it. I discovered quite by accident one day, that if you disable JavaScript, it doesn't happen. Just thought this might save you the cost of memory, which is prohibitive these days.

Have a better one, Curtis Maloney
