Will 4GB RAM be enough for FreeBSD ?

[drhowarddrfine]

I still have a box in my basement that runs on 768MB of ram but it was FreeBSD 7 on it, I think. Doesn't have ZFS or poudriere, of course. Runs Firefox and Inkscape but I don't recall what desktop it used.

… maybe some chromium based browser …

𡀦… 8GB should be enough`ish ?

Building www/chromium might be too much of a drag with 8.

As others said, for running a server, even with ZFS, 4GB is generous.

Why do you want to compile at all, in particular with poudriere? Why not just run pre-compiled packages?

Because it is fun and one could learn a lot by doing so.
