well, yeah, "worst case" but the 4 GB you mention, aren't specified as
worst case, but as a minimum. how can a worst case scenario be the
minimum?
See below; 4 GiB is the minimum to allow DWH & reporting, and 8 GiB
is the recommended amount of RAM.
On CentOS you're not able imho until some release to even
install
DWH without third party repos.
This is being worked on for 3.5.0. Either way you will get warnings
in the installation now but it will not be blocked.
Anyway thanks for the interesting insight where all those numbers
come
from!
