Hi,
I'm about to set up a Geoserver site which will be used to collect all the bike paths in a city (Sydney).
I'll be installing Geoserver, Postgis, Postgres on linux. What hardware requirements should I pass onto the sys-admin guys?

That's a difficult question that depends on many variables.
Is it going to be a high traffic site, or very few users?
How large is the bike path dataset? I'm assuming in the 10's of megabytes, so hard drive space won't be an issue.
GeoServer doesn't suck up much memory, but the database might.
I'm not sure you will get a good answer here on the list that will fit your needs exactly, but I'm sure people can share their experiences.
It would be nice to have a page on the wiki that has some graphs on performance vs. hardware running GeoServer, just so people can get a ballpark on requirements.
Most home PCs will run GeoServer and postgres fairly easily and quickly. But if you can get away with a nice system, do that.

Thanks Brent,
I'll be getting users to build a database out of nothing, so initially the database will be small.
And unless we get slashdotted, I'm expecting relatively light traffic. Maybe 1000 hits per hour.
So sounds like I'll be able to get away with an old 400MHz box with 256K memory and 4 Gig of hard disk?
