SUSE 10 System requirements etc..
I have a old 600mhz Pentium system with around 400mb of RAM.. is this enough to crisply run SuSE 10 (w/ GUI) or should I just go ahead and install it in one of my newer systems? I'de rather install it in my 600mhz system (convienence, other reasons..) but I won't do it if performance will be sluggish. Thanks for the input, JON

I drive it with a P III@1000 in a notebook with 384 MB Ram. It runs fine (with KDE). The difference between your CPU and mine isnt that big, so it will run fine at your machine too (i think). regards, Jens
I run it on a Compaq Armada e500, P3 700MHz, 256MB RAM and it works, that means it is usable... I cannot say it performs fast :) but I can work on it, test on it, listen to music, watch movies, work with mail, internet, documents and so on :) the hdd led is lit too much for my taste... but then it does the same in winxp as well :) Daniel Jens Nixdorf wrote:

Dunno about SuSE10, but 9.3 runs very well on an ancient PII 400MHZ with 384Mb. /Per Jessen, Zürich

After installation, performance will at least have no lack against before. Maybe it is even "feelable" better. But installation itself may need half a day... I just did it with a 400 MHz P-II and 128 MB RAM. Success at the end. Cheers -e -- Eberhard Moenkeberg (emoenke@gwdg.de, em@kki.org)
