[Koha] Intro and questions

[King, Fred]

Hello Charles, and welcome to Koha!

In my experience, it depends on the size of your collection and how busy your library is. My medical library has maybe 14,000 items and a monthly circulation in the high two figures, mostly for one book (Advanced Cardiac Life Support--our staff need it for a certification exam). Our six-year-old server has something like 4GB RAM and 160GB hard disk space. My test server has maybe half that capacity.

If you're going to be anywhere near Pueblo, Colorado, US, on September 18-21st, you can come see my presentation "Got a hundred dollars? Get an ILS!" on the 19th, wherein I talk about my attempts to construct a very low-cost Koha system. I haven't actually accomplished it yet, but I still have three months. 😊 See www.koha-us.org for more conference information.

Greetings. I am a computer tech researching Koha to install for a Library in Africa.
What are the minimum system requirements to run koha on an intranet?
I do not see that specific information on the website.
Thank you,
Charles
