I do.

The machine has 256 Mb, and is pretty happy with it.

Here is an extract from ps aux :

root       616  0.0 11.3 31012 29204 ?       S    Mar02   6:35 /usr/sbin/zebra -d
root       620  1.0 14.6 39924 37876 ?       S    Mar02 132:05 /usr/sbin/bgpd -d

And here is "free" :

nicolas@cerise:~$ free

It's a 450 MHz PIII. CPU power depends on the trafic you expect.

We have two peers, and get full routing table from both (+- 120 000
routes).
