If a RISC 6000 were configured with a 160 MB system disk
how much would be left after loading the V.4 O.S. (non-development
version) and configuring swap space for 8 MB of memory ?
Any drawbacks in using a larger external disk for the O.S. ?
Also is 8 MB anywhere near the mark for a system with 2-4 users,
ORACLE 6, TCP/IP over Ethernet and NFS ?
I have heard that AIX needs lots of memory, expecially with
ORACLE.
Finally, what are your opinions of having a RISC 6000 without
a local tape drive. The only drive available would be remote
over TCP/IP Ethernet.
Obviously these sorts of questions are impossible to judge
exactly without much more information but all I'm looking
for is a feeling or experiences.
Thanks
