Since I'm not building crippled kernel packages, I suspect the memory and cpu limits are just _support_ limitations. Since 16 and 32GB systems are used for heavier workloads, they tend to generate much more support calls than smaller systems. If you're just running the software and not planning on having Red Hat support fix your database configuration problems for you, the ES and WS bits should work just fine. -- "Debugging is twice as hard as writing the code in the first place.
