Hi there,
what are the minimum ressources needed for 9.2? Will the final release work without limitation at appliances with 2GByte RAM like an asg 220 REV 5?
In my testlab I need for my virtual appliance at least 3Gbyte RAM.
regards
mod
Another alternative would be to use the 32bit Version.

actually no. the 32 bit version can't really do over 3.5 gigs. when they up the ram in the new appliances(or if you upgrade using software) and goto 4 or more gigs you'll have to do a reinstall. The appliances are loaded with 64 bit anyway. Any ram usage savings are insignificant between 32 bit and 64 bit.
Based on this, it'd seem more intelligent for Sophos to preset the value during the installer based on the CPU's reported capabilities: if normal Linux mechanisms would allow a 64-bit kernel to run, preset to "" rather than "".
Alternatively, add yet a little more intelligence that if a 64-bit kernel can run and perhaps other conditions are not satisfied (ie some really old x86-64 CPUs might perform better on the 32-bit kernel).

if the cpu is 64 bit capable there is zero tangible benefit to 32 bit software.
