I put SuSe 6.3 on a old P133 with 32Mb I had. Turns out that I'm using it more than I thought.
2) Otherwise, say I want to upgrade the motherboard and memory together. Will I be lucky enough to drop in a new motherboard and Linux will boot, or do I need to go through installation again?
I recently (last week actually) upgraded my trusty 486 with a VESA bus to a 500 mhz PCI motherboard, and kept the original hard drive, floppy drive and CD-ROM. The former computer was dual booting between Win95 and Suse 6.1. Win95 had to be reinstalled, but the Linux side of the dual boot worked fine without needing any reinstallation; I just had to run Yast to reconfigure for the new video card and PS2 mouse, and it ran great after that.
3) Any suggestions on motherboards? I don't want to spend more than a few hundred USDs
ASUS boards usually get top rated reviews.
