Lately i’m testing some OE, poky at work in a 2 x Xeon Core 2 Duo with 4/2 GB of RAM (the admin gives 2 GB of RAM from that server), and it’s so pleasant to see the things going faster. But, at work i’m related to other stuff and i have no time to test & optimize my build process.

With my laptop, i have to be patient, at work, is fast, but i don’t have enough time. Maybe it’s time to look for another machine :)

In order to build from OE (multiple trees and therefore multiple copies of tmp) I purchased an external 160GB USB2 hard drive. The speed seems just fine for OE use and I haven't run out of space yet (and there are other large groups of files on that external disk as well).</p> My laptop is getting old and only has 60GB internally.

I have a laptop (using right now) Lenovo x60 with 80gb HD and 2 gb of RAM which works perfectly fine with my smaller builds…

I also have 2 Dual Xeon servers that I do my big (everything) builds on that has about 500gb each and I can run about 5 different full builds with out any problems with space. Ram I’m running at 8gb in one and 12gb in the other… WAY over kill but that is how much was in them when I got them…

Ohh and I’m talking pdaXrom builder (ptxdist) not bitbake but still on the same topic about RAM/HDD.

I hope ram and hdd space dont become an issue anytime soon… I dont have the money to keep upgrading lol
