System requirements

For the most recent certification information, see Sybase Product Certification site.

Table 1-1 shows the minimum kernel and glibc levels for the Linux platforms.

Table 1-2 shows the disk space requirements to install Adaptive Server on Linux platforms.

**Table 1-2: Disk space requirements for Linux 32-bit platforms**
Product	Disk space requirements
Adaptive Server typical install	620MB
Default databases created during install	150MB
Total	1320MB

Newer kernels/glibc intended for the same operating system are implicitly certified.
