Basically, it was a virtualization server running Xen (CentOS 7.9), and then I had a few VMs permanently running: mail server with Postfix and Dovecot (Slackware based), Samba AD-DC based on Debian Buster, Samba file server (2TB storage), also based on Debian Buster, Windows 10 (light development for barcode equipment). There were still a few Gbytes of RAM free for a Linux Slackware VM, or a Windows XP x64 installation. So, with your 32 GB of RAM, no problem really. But since I replaced that rig with a new one (AMD Ryzen 7 5700G), I have been saving about 20% on my electricity bills. My home server is running round the clock, and the FX-6300 is quite power hungry. HTH. Peter
Thanks for the info. Which distro did you run on your host? Debian installs a lot of packages I won't be needing on the host so I was wondering is there a lighter distro to install as the host? ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ In all things, Be Intentional.

Peter, Off topic but did you have a problem restarting the FX-6300 when there was a USB drive connected? It won't start so if I restart it remotely or power goes out, it won't boot back up. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ In all things, Be Intentional.
