[Building Sakai] How much RAM for small installation?

[Matthew Jones]

On our dev server (Custom 2.6) with a max of about 10-20 people hitting it,
I've never had a running okay with about 1.5gig of ram. This has a lot of
contrib tools though and I really don't know how low it could go. If you use
something like the cafe build [1] [2] and only include the tools you need
(or just remove some you don't), you could probably get by with under a
gigabyte. Sakai, for sure, loves memory though.

(dev server settings)
/usr/local/jdk/bin/java -server -Xms1500m -Xmx1500m -XX:NewSize=400m
-XX:MaxNewSize=400m -XX:PermSize=256m -XX:MaxPermSize=256m
