[ale] What are the minimum requirements for a CentOS server to learn on?

[Michael Trausch]

What I do is head to NewEgg and put together a halfway decent system. I use
AMD processors for everything, usually quad cores in servers (I won't have
any need for a 6-core for some time, I hope). I use systems with AMD
chipsets, as well. I can send you a parts list for the last system I built
if that'd help any, but I can tell you that as long as Linux supports the
hardware on the mobo, it should be just fine.

One thing to note: not all onboard SATA chipsets (or their drivers) support
port multipliers. I know this from recent experience. AMD/ATIs do, though,
some with support in them even at the BIOS level.

Hi, All, I haven't posted to the list in several years, so please
forgive my "lurking" most of the time. My son-in-law is studying at
home for the RHCT exam and wants to know what motherboard and
processor, and minimum amount of memory he needs to set up a server to
learn with. Initially, it will be for a home network, but later, maybe
on . . . ? It must be able to set up virtual servers, too.

Thanks for any help given.
