Re: [Pcb2gcode-devel] Online pcb2gcode

[Pierre D. <pi...@eq...>]

It's based on VIA NANO 
http://en.community.dell.com/dell-blogs/direct2dell/b/direct2dell/archive/2009/05/19/dell-launches-quot-fortuna-quot-via-nano-based-server-for-hyperscale-customers.aspx 
at dedibox datacenter.

And there's 2Gb of RAM and a few Gb free on disk.

I think we can manage a queue for jobs to avoid too many simultaneous 
requests.
