[OSM-talk] Windows OpenStreetMap Server

[Lynn W. Deffenbaugh (Mr)]

And if  you plan to run a full planet OSM tile server, you better have 
LOTS of RAM and seriously FAST disk drives!

I managed to get the planet imported into a 24GB VMware Ubuntu VM spread 
across 3 physical spindles with LVM but all on a Windows 7 64 bit 
host..  By the time the planet was downloaded and imported, it was 
already 8.3 DAYS behind.

I got the osmosis/osm2pgsql job running (Minutely Mapnik) and it's now 
just about 1 day behind, but the import was finished on January 25 and 
it is now February 20.  Yes, it has taken nearly a MONTH to get and 
apply the diffs in 6 hour chunks.  At least I could drop the VM from 
24GB to 7GB for the catchup phase!
