The machine serving the http://hix.nu/svn-public/ repositories is a
PII-350Mhz, but with 384MB RAM. Next to that, it's serving several
domains, hosting a mail server, running a Subversion continuous
intergation client (see http://www.mobsol.be/buildbot/), generating
and publishing subversion .pot files (translation) every hour,
continuously logged into IRC and then some more.

The disc system is a SCSI disk for the repositories.

I must say though that commits are rarely bigger than 1MB.

The machine is running Debian Linux, but given the age of the
Subversion package available for it, I wouldn't recommend Debian. (I
compiled my own...)

HTH,

Erik.
