How much CPU?

[drRodneyMcKay]

I need to temporarily repurpose my hardver.

I need to set up a file server, Plex media server, VPN server and a VM an in i5 6500.

Planning to use arch Linux. Is 1 core enough for the VPN, hypervisor and samba and Plex (without transcoding)

Id give each vm 2 cores, makes it work better, and vms can share cores without issue.

 

Id look at something like proxmox if your just running vms, much easier to manage and work with than arch.

I have no problem with arch, and this is a temporary solution, until I buy a new setup later this year.

Thank you for the answer
