I was curious if there are any success stories amongst you for getting Zimbra up and running in a Linode?

I know it would probably work, but wondering bout performance... and how much cpu/ram are you throwing at it?

Thanks!

I see this is an old thread, but had been viewed many times, so I thought I'd respond.

I've got zimbra os ed. 4.5 running in a 540 - it seems to do well, but does occasionally run out of memory and requires a restart (about once every 2 - 3 weeks). I created a script that restarts it when it crashes, so that keeps it going.

I just installed the 5.0.5 version on a 360, and its difficult to get it going. After installation, it seemed to startup fine and run modestly, but as soon as I added additional domains and extra zimlets, it takes about 2 hours for the http/imap services to come alive after issuing a start. I tweaked the memory settings a lot to get it to improve performance once its running, and it seems to do just fine now, but the startup time is REALLY annoying.

I have Zimbra 5.0.1 running on a 720 with a lot of tweaks to lessen the memory requirements. After all the tweaks it runs great under Xen for about 20 people and never has to even think about touching swap.

I tried with a 540 and a 360, but both had to swap a large amount of RAM which is not acceptable if you need any kind of performance from it.

I should add the one I have running on the 540 is for about 7 people, who are spread across the country (so they all don't log in at the same time). The 360 I'm trying to get going is just for myself and my family.
