What Is the Minimum Hardware Requirement for Running a DND System?
Depending on the size of your directory, almost any modern desktop machine should be sufficient. (We used to tell people that the minimum was 20MB of memory and 100MB of free disk space; the average toaster meets those requirements now.) The key point is to have enough memory to hold your entire directory database in memory (either directly, if you're using the flat file backend, or in an Oracle or LDAP cache).
What Operating Systems Are Supported?
Dartmouth's production DND environment runs on Linux (RHEL4). The server is regularly built and tested on Linux, Mac OS X, and Solaris.
Previous versions of the DND have built successfully on Dec UNIX (Tru64) and AIX, but those platforms are not actively maintained or supported.
