Oh, SuSE Linux 7.1 would fine run in just 24Mb. I had it running as a firewall for 6-7 years on a 486 with 24Mb. I think a couple of people have already pointed it out, but even so - it's not right pointing the finger at openSUSE as a distro, when the resource consumption is really caused by modern applications such as Firefox etc. I recently installed openSUSE 11.1 on a Pentium90 with 256Mb. After installation I reduced the RAM to 96Mb - the system is running fine. It serves no practical purpose of course, but it shows that openSUSE 11.1 will run quite well even on that very minimal hardware - but it won't run KDE nor Firefox. /Per -- Per Jessen, Zürich (14.6°C) -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-factory+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-factory+help@opensuse.org
