Hallo together,
as I try to write a little howto for sage, I would start a little poll with that question. If you are using a system lower then a Core2Duo CPU in combination with a binary installation, please let me know about it, so I get the best fit for a minimal system requirement for running a binary sage system.
Greetings golodhrim
You can build Sage on very low-end equipment (by modern standards), but you need at least a certain amount of RAM to build certain components (I hear ATLAS is a hog). To just run a binary, presumably you would need much less memory. For instance, I have successfully built and tested Sage on a 700 MHz PowerPC chip with 512 MB memory.
This thread describes a build on an even lower spec system, I believe. Again, these are builds - I have no idea for actually running Sage. I don't think you'd need more than 100 MB to run it, probably less, though your OS might need some of that space.
Thanks for a short handbook for some teachers, I'm just interessted in the minimal system requirements for binary, as I normaly use a source based linux, I haven't the problem, but we had experienced last week problems using a binary package on an older box, so it would be interessting to get here some infos about what is at least necessary to run the binary packages...
