Hardware We will Need to Have
The TrixBox package will install on pretty minimal hardware. For prototyping and experimenting, we can use a system as low as a PIII 500 MHz system with 384-MB RAM and a 10-GB hard drive. The system will need to be able to boot from a CD-ROM drive. A keyboard and a monitor are only required during the initial setup. If we are planning on putting the system to use in a business environment, these minimum requirements are not going to be sufficient. A business class machine should consist of at least a 2.0 GHz processor with 1 GB RAM and a 100 GB hard disk. Some users have reported good results with lesser systems but we run the risk of poor playback and recording of sound files that can dramatically reduce the quality of the user experience. We also have to ensure that we keep adequate disk space available as this could severely impact the performance of the system.
It is highly recommended that even if we are not planning on connecting our system to any traditional...
