Until its harddrive died, my little 486 server at home w. 16MB RAM was running Apache+Zope quite happily. Granted, I wouldn't even have *thought* of opening it to the world, but it was fun to play on. Maybe its drive died because of too much paging? ;-) -- Marcus

Mem: 13608K av, 12824K used, 784K free,

WHAT? Yes, only 12MB of memory... The machine has lost all of its memory and is just running on the system board memory. Oh yeah, and it is a 166 MHz Pentium.

Sorry, but I don't quite understand what your message meant. (I am serious and not making fun.)

You only mentioned 12MB memory. Is that all the RAM memory on the machine?

Do you know that a person just complained about Zope because it was sucking up 2GB of memory? No, there is no typo. It's 2GB, not 2MB.

I mean, to run a website, at very least be prepared to have 64MB, it's about US$70 nowadays. I hope I have not misunderstood, but I can't possibly imagine Zope running on a computer that has only 12MB! :)

regard,

Hung Jung
