Hello everyone,

I have a question about centOS 6 system requirements. I looked at the links below to see what the minimum system requirements are so that I can virtualize this OS and use it as a PHP, MySQL and Apache server.

http://www.centos.org/docs/5/html/Installation_Guide-en...

http://wiki.centos.org/About/Product

After reading the links I am still confused as to what the minimum requirements are. Did I miss something? Can someone help me interpret the documentation? Or can someone tell me their past experiences with virtualizing CentOS 6 and tell me what settings they used to virtualize it.

I would like to know how much ram and hard drive space the OS needs to run stable and efficient.

Thanks in advance!

Your second link has a "Recommended minimum requirements" section which seems to be fairly unambiguous. To be on the safe side I would allow at least twice the minimum in each category. As to how this copes with your particular requirements is something that only you can determine by doing performance measurements on the running system.
