Re: Looking for partition resource recommendations

[Larry Bolhuis <lbolhuis@xxxxxxxxxx>]

Charly,

 I would agree with Dave. We have even gone all the way down to 0.10 of 
a processor and it works pretty well if you're just learning Linux or 
how it works on iSeries. If you try to bring up xwindows on a client 
workstation though you'll see 'less then steller' performance at that 
level!!  Remember that you can toy with CPU allocation while the 
partition is active but not memory.
