Mustajuuri Example Systems
This page gives an example of a Linux hardware/software combination
that can be used to run Mustajuuri.
Hardware
- CPU - At least 300 MHz, more than 1 GHz preferred (Pentium,
Celeron, Athlon, Duron...)
- Memory - At least 64 Mb, more than 256 Mb preferrred
- Hard-disk - At least 100 Mb free space, more than 1 Gb preferrred
Software
Note that if you just install a modern Linux distribution you will get
most of these components automatically as installation packages. The
most exotic parts of of this installation procedure are the kernel
patches, the libcap and the givertcap.
- Linux kernel with low-latency
patches by Andrew Morton and (recommended) capability
patch. For example kernel 2.4.16 is known to work well -
patching recommended. The new 2.6 kernel series should not need
latency patches (but it will need the minimal capability patch like
2.4).
- Journaling file system - ext3 recommended
- If you have an IDE disk, then use hdparm to optimize the
performance: hdparm -c3 -d1 -u1 /dev/hda - recommended
- Audio file library version 0.2.0 or higher - MUST
- Alsa 0.9 components: drivers, library, tools and utils - MUST
- Qt 3.0 (2.2
and 2.3 may also work) class library by Troll Tech - MUST
- GCC 2.96 or gcc 3.0.1 (3.1.1 and 3.2 may also work). Keep in
mind that the different compilers are NOT binary-compatible. MUST
- givertcap - recommended
- libcap - recommended
