I'm getting this question more frequently, so I wanted to put it to the
list:
What are the minimum and recommended hardware requirements for running
LiveSupport?
One reason this comes up is because there are some very interesting
hardware units coming out these days that are worth looking into, at least
for LS Station:

the most pressing requirement is the multiple soundcards that you need
(cue, live play, scheduled play)
other than that, you do need a decent machine for low latency on
playback - but frankly, we should test it on a low-spec machine to see
how it behaves
ASUS makes interesting devices - e.g. ASUS WL-500b(g) is popular in
the Czech WiFi community as accesspoint running Linux and
having USB port for cameras, USB disks etc.
But we have no information on RAM amount in the device above,
WL-500 have max 32MB AFAIK - it's not enough for LS, I think.

For what it's worth, tonight I managed to install LiveSupport 1.0.1
(Studio and Station) on a single Compaq 1260 notebook, which has a 300 Mhz
Pentium I CPU, 96 megs of RAM, and a 4GB HD. It's running a pre-release
version of LS-Knoppix, which I upgraded tonight as well (gotta love
apt-get dist-upgrade).
LS Studio works fine for playback. Uploading is a bit slow, though, as can
probably be expected. The biggest problem I can see on this machine is
system time drift.
LS Station's HTML UI looks pretty weird on this VGA monitor, but other
than that, it works.
What's the slowest hardware you've been able to get LiveSupport to work
on?

In devel.env. you can use: "make reset" in storageServer dir.

well, that's a hardware issue, and one is advised to run NTP anyway to
keep their machines' time in sync...
