Of course they do. But users normally[0] don't want to run openSUSE or KDE. They want to run firefox, kmail, acrobat reader and openOffice. Did you try to start OOo on a machine with 256MB? And then work with it?
of course it works
What I, probably[1] not too well, tried to point out is that the expectations need to be set correctly. If all you've got are 512MB, you can make do with it and work around the limits. But "minimum hardware requirements" imply to me that there is no limit for normal use.
if so we should be more precise. For internet use, mail, most office work, these machines are plain good (and I did these works few time ago with much less powerfull computers) but, of course if you want to compile Hight Definition video or 15Mpix images this can be short. I already have 160Go photo repository (but on USB drive) but the question is: why should we ask for more than what is really necessary? these are not maximum requirements, but minimum ones! jdd -- http://www.dodin.net http://valerie.dodin.org http://news.opensuse.org/2009/04/13/people-of-opensuse-jean-daniel-dodin/ -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-testing+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-testing+help@opensuse.org
