Can I install Suse 10.1 on my machine with a 128 MB rdram? If Suse can be installed, is the machine usable( that is not too slow)?
It depends on what you want to do with it. I've got Xen servers running in 128mb, no problem. If you want a full KDE/Gnome setup with XGL, it's not gonna happen. A lightweight window manager would probably work, the "Base Graphical System without KDE/Gnome".
You had better tell that to my portable. 800Mhz and 128mb memory. Runs full KDE.
Or my "Workstation" with it's Celeron 533MHz and 192MB of SDRAM PC66 Full KDE + Thunderbird + Mozilla Suite
Are either of you running XGL? Are you running Gnome apps at the same time? My laptop is sitting here with 325mb used: KDE, TBird, Firefox, XGL, and a few consoles. (That's not including buffers/cache) Technically speaking, with a big enough swap, you could run anything on very little ram, but what kind of performance do you get?
