Chris,
I think that we should be seen as being current, so if we are going to
recommend anything to install on, we probably need to get the HCL
recommendations from each of the current distros. If you start down the
slippery slope of what you can install Linux on, you'll wind up with
80386 computers running stripped down versions of one distro or another.
By the way my 80286 works great, it and it's 16MB of RAM seem to be just
enough to provide Samba interaction with my Windoze boxes. I think we
should look at the latest distros for the recommendations, huh?

Hi all, we are putting together a flyer with info about the installfest.
We are going to put minimum PC requirements on the flyer as well. So...
What does everyone think the minimum requirements for a PC running linux
should be?
I was thinking P166 (too slow?) 64 MB RAM 2 GB harddrive. I know it
depends
greatly on the distro and usage, but we are just looking for some input
from
others out there. Maybe we'll have 2 categories for requirements:
desktop
and server. My thoughts are that the requirements for server/router can
be
a bit lower.
Thanks.
Chris.
