3.1
Overview Since Roo is based on Fedora Core 3,
it has the same hardware requirements and support as a
standard Fedora Core 3 installation. The following should be
considered the minimum recommended hardware baseline for
running a successfull Honeywall. For those of you who used
Eeyore in the past, please keep in mind the new version
Roo is installed and ran entirely from the hard drive.

3.2 CPU Intel
x_86 Pentium class CPU (or better) - Also supports earlier
CPUs (such as Pentium, Pentium Pro, Pentium II, Pentium III,
and including AMD and VIA variants). Upon installation the SMP
kernel will be selected and installed if multiple CPUs are
detected

3.3 Memory 256MB
(bare minimum) 512MB (recommended) - More memory is usually
better depending on how active your Honeywall is. This is
especially true now that the data analysis interface
Walleye uses a database.

3.4 Hard
Drive Base install with Honeywall functionality is
around 550MB. For testing purposes, you need a minimum of 4GB
hard drive. For production purposes, you need a minimum of
10GB hard drive. Support is available for most IDE hard disks
setups as well many popular SCSI disks/controllers. Below is a
list of most of the supported SCSI controllers: 3w-9xxx initio sata_sis
3w-xxxx ips sata_svw

Cards. You will need three cards if you want the ability for
remote management or remote logging. Below is a list of most
of the supported NICs: 3c501 de600 hamachi ppp_deflate sungem_phy
