Re: OT: Mac Mini for GNS3 and Dynamips?

I have run dynamips and gns3 on winblows (XP, server2k8, and 7), linux
(debian and Ubuntu) and OSX. I can honestly say that in my humble opinion
the GNS3 overhead is not that significant. That said, I usually run GNS3 on
a dedicated server and then I connect remotely from another laptop with
secureCRT or something like than so I'm not "working" on the server running
GNS3. OSX on a 2.33 ghz MBP with 2 Gigs of memory runs 15-18 routers just
fine.

My personal preference: Debian on a dual core zeon with 6gb of memory.
Running full IPExpert or IE labs with no issues. Physical switches hanging
off the back.
