2.2 System Requirements for
Operating Linux
The SUSE® Linux Enterprise Server operating system can be operated on a wide range
of hardware. It is impossible to list all the different combinations of hardware SUSE
Linux Enterprise Server supports. However, to provide you with a guide to help you
during the planning phase, the minimum requirements are presented here.
If you want to be sure that a given computer configuration will work, find out which
computers have been certified by SUSE. Find a list of these computers at

2.2.1 Hardware for x86
Computers based on x86 constitute a cost-effective way of building high-performance
systems. The preconditions to operating SUSE Linux Enterprise Server on this platform
are as follows:
CPU
The number of CPUs supported depends on the kernel used. Specifically, these are
as follows:
Table 2.1 CPUs Supported by the Kernel
Maximum Number of
CPUs Oldest CPU Type Kernel
32 PentiumPro, Athlon kernel-default
128 Pentium II, Athlon XP kernel-pae
Memory Requirements
A minimum of 512 MB is required. The minimum recommended memory is 1 GB.
For a multiprocessor system, 256 MB per processor is required. Systems with less
than 1 GB main memory need additional swap space that extends the virtual
memory to 1 GB.
