From 1b921160bdb50b8fe2e44f183e030ffb466d58a2 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Ben Shum Date: Mon, 24 Oct 2016 12:05:31 -0400 Subject: [PATCH] Docs: Update base system requirements for Evergreen These memory values are woefully out of date for modern Evergreen installations. Recommending also at least 2 GB of RAM for client workstation, though honestly, more is probably better there too. Also adding specific Linux distributions supported by this community instead of just Linux. And dropping specific Windows versions (especially since two out of the three are no longer supported by Microsoft).
