RES: minimum requirements

2.1 Requirements
In order to install and operate SmoothWall Express successfully the PC must
meet or exceed the following hardware specification:
Processor: All Pentium compatible processors, including Pentium I, II, III,
IV, AMD 586 onwards, Cyrix, and IBM. A 150 MHz or faster processor is
recommended.
Memory: Minimum 32 Mbytes RAM, ideally 64 Mbytes or more. With less than 64
Mbytes RAM it may not be possible to run all services especially the Web
Proxy Server and the Intrusion Detection System. Additional RAM may be
needed for optimal performance if the Proxy Cache and Intrusion Detection
features are utilised.
Hard disk: An IDE drive of 2 Gigabytes capacity is recommended. It may be
possible to operate on as little as 540 Mbytes of disk, although this may
present capacity problems with proxy log files etc. Higher capacity disks
allow for more and larger log files to be stored; 2 GBytes or more is
advised if there are a large number of users behind the SmoothWall Express,
as the more users and activity the quicker the proxy log files grow.
CD-ROM: An IDE CD-ROM drive is recommended for ease of installation, as
although SmoothWall Express can be installed across a network, the
installation is more straightforward when using a local CD-ROM drive. Using
a bootable CD-ROM drive makes the installation even simpler. See the
Hardware Compatibility List for supported CD-ROM drives.
Video card: Any - required only for initial installation - all subsequent
administration is carried out remotely over the network.
Monitor: Any - required only for initial installation - all subsequent
administration is carried out remotely over the network.
Keyboard: Any - required only for initial installation - all subsequent
administration is carried out remotely over the network. If PC's BIOS allows
it to boot without a keyboard present then the keyboard will not be required
for regular use of the system.
Mouse: Not required.
Network card: At least one supported network card is needed to connect the
SmoothWall Express to the protected local network. If connection to the
Internet is via a broadband device such as a cable modem, Ethernet-presented
ADSL, or another Ethernet-presented connection, a second supported network
card will be required. See the Hardware Compatibility List for supported
network cards.
Modem: If using a dial-up (analogue) connection to the Internet, a supported
modem must be present. See the Hardware Compatibility List for supported
modems.
ADSL Modem: See the Hardware Compatibility List for USB connected and PCI
card ADSL modems that are supported by SmoothWall Express.
ISDN: If connection to the Internet is via ISDN, a supported ISDN card or an
external RS232 or USB connected adapter device must be present. See the
Hardware Compatibility List for supported ISDN cards.
