My CentOS 7 server (with GUI) without /home uses some 15GB (of 24GB root partition) so anything over 20GB should be enough for root partiton. 8GB SWAP should be enough since you will not hibernate it. > > > _______________________________________________ > CentOS mailing list > CentOS@xxxxxxxxxx > https://lists.centos.org/mailman/listinfo/centos > -- Ljubomir Ljubojevic (Love is in the Air) PL Computers Serbia, Europe StarOS, Mikrotik and CentOS/RHEL/Linux consultant _______________________________________________ CentOS mailing list CentOS@xxxxxxxxxx https://lists.centos.org/mailman/listinfo/centos
