Thats correct, I'm planing buying an AMD Geode that is i586
I think to actually get CentOS down that small there's a few RPMs you have to
force remove. It makes upgrading anything a pain because you have to
manually add and force packages for install as well.
Will take this in mind, I was thinking upgrading with yum.
With lower-end hardware it is usually easier to go with a custom Busybox
setup. Busybox is small, and quite easy to set up.
I would second this. CentOS' dependencies are pretty complex and intermingled
when you get to a small set of installed RPMs.
I think I should get a 512MB flash memory, they are cheap these days and
will help having
more .rpm installed.
I'm planning using it as a router, so I need:
- yum
- iptables
- ssh
- apache + php
- maybe mysql
Thanks Daniel and Kevan for the info
