Subject: Recommended specs for a FAI server

I browsed through the mailing list archive but could not find any infos on this:

What would be the "recommended" specifications for a FAI server? I know these things can vary from one use case to another, but what about a sensible setup?

Maybe more broadly, what are your FAI server specs (if you use a standalone machine/VM)?

---------------------------------------------------------

I use a standalone machine, it's a Pentium 4 processor @ 2.8GHz with 512MB. We usually only install one client at a time, but I'm sure the system could handle more. I have another system that is an apt proxy to cache packages so that may take some of the load off the main FAI server.

HTH,

Bob
