Re: [Gumstix-users] Gumstix + VMWare = BAD?

[Elvis D. <elv...@ma...>]

Hi Ben,
		I'm using Vmware with Fedora 10, for all the Overo-OE stuff. The VM  
has 1.5GB, but it rarely needs more than 600MB just for Overo-OE stuff  
alone. If I use Eclipse, then I pre-allocate atleast 768MB for the VM  
heap size at start up to improve eclipse performance and reduce the  
changes or crashes.

You need to allocate at least 50GB for the VM, so you have a head room  
of atleast 10GB for some extra stuff in the future.

Best regards,

Elvis
