Re: [mv] How fast PC would I need to run following setup.
Jarno,
I run a comparable (much more complex products) shop with a bit more
traffic on a P200 w/96 Ram, SCSI drives (I really recommend SCSI over any
IDE, it's much better), and Redhat 5.1/RedHat Secure Webserver 1/MySQL.
It does very well, the next thing to do is pop in more RAM for the
occasional high load. If you were to set aside about $3000 you can get a
dual 500 Dell Poweredge 1300 with RedHat preloaded, 256MB Ram, 18GB
Ultra-SCSI which I think is a really cheap powerhouse of a small server.
Anything comparable should last you well in to growing 10-20 times the
volume you expect.
In linux you can add the start command to /etc/rc.d/rc.local.
IMHO,
-Erik
