Hi, |
44 |
|
45 |
I have a lightly used server with 16 "processors" (Intel Xeon E5630 @ |
46 |
2.53GHz,) 3.9TB of free disk space (though I can probably increase |
47 |
that,) and 48GB of memory. |
48 |
|
49 |
Depending upon actual bandwidth requirements that may be an issue, but |
50 |
we can try it to see. |
51 |
|
52 |
I can give you SSH access and can get whatever you need set up. |
53 |
|
54 |
It's Gentoo openrc but if that's a problem I can move it to systemd. |
