I see directions for running Koha on Debian, Ubuntu, MacOSX, and Windows. Which is best? I'm really a mac head and love the form factor of the Mac Mini. Would a 2ghz dual core mini with 2GB of ram be sufficient to handle 50k of patrons, 120k of materials, and 500K of circ for 1 facility? Thats our current load. Well, it'll work on all of the above, running any operating system. I've always found it's easiest on Debian, but that's just my bias :-)
The specs you quote will be fine if you're planning to roll out on the 3.0 codebase, but I wouldn't want to run 2.2 on those specs. Without Zebra your searching will be pretty slow on 2.2 ... searching is definitely the bottleneck to consider. But 3.0 will literally fly something like a Mac Mini :-) Cheers, -- Joshua Ferraro SUPPORT FOR OPEN-SOURCE SOFTWARE President, Technology migration, training, maintenance, support LibLime Featuring Koha Open-Source ILS jmf@liblime.com |Full Demos at http://liblime.com/koha |1(888)KohaILS
