I have run a Nagios system with Fedora Core 5 having only 250mb RAM on
a single-processor system.  It ran okay just pinging 200 or so hosts,
but I had to make sure I wasn't running anything which wasn't needed.
For example, I only ran the Gnome GUI when I felt I needed it.

I am not sure what you mean by 'the log'.  The Nagios log files
normally don't occupy much space.  How much space they occupy depends
on how many events there are, how much logging you configure Nagios to
do and how long you keep them.  I should think if you're only
monitoring 20 servers then 20gb will last you a good few years or even
decades.

Cheers,

Jim
