43...for those who require slightly more than the answer to life, the universe and everything. I have not tried it myself but I believe that if you go for a no graphics install, you can get Suse up and running and it will run moderately well on 256M but memory is relatively cheap these days and it will speed up your system a lot. I don't know if having a larger Linux Swap file partition would make a difference. Ralph Ellis
