xubuntu still install in 256Mb ram machine and works fine
openSUSE is visibly aiming the more new hardware...
openSUSE will install on less than that too - I've got 11.0 running on a PII 333MHZ with 96M RAM (I think it had more when I did the install though). I've also got 11.1 running on a Pentium 133MHz with 128Mb. The first one does environmental monitoring, nothing too onerous, the second one was just for fun to see what the real minimum was. Depending on how you define "works fine", they do both work fine, but neither would be very useful as a desktop machine. My personal view on hardware requirements is that it's okay to aim high(ish) for the desktop, but it's equally important that older servers can also still install/run openSUSE. /Per -- Per Jessen, Zürich (22.9°C) -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org
