@anders what's the spec? I'm running @getsolus on a 2011 MacBook Pro which is a quad core intel. I need to up the memory from 4Gb, and went with 16Gb and it works really well.
@anders@getsolus it's enough to get it running and measuring the performance of it. I believe 8gb should be more than enough. You could try something else distro wise like BunsenLabs (Debian based) which is lightweight
