I have had a request by a client to see if some legacy hardware is supported by openSUSE 10.3. Most of the things they asked about I could sort out. It just left me with this:
ASUS P2B-S Motherboard (CPU - Pentium 2 350/512/100/2.0 S1)
ATI Mach 64 PCI
The system should run KDE 3.5. No fancy graphics effects. I suspect it could be pushing it with a 350 MHz P2. Even id the graphics card is decent. Aside from suggesting a hardware upgrade, any constructive opinions?
Sorry I'm late on this one Roger, but the short answer is -- your client will be pushing it. I don't think kde3.5 will be usable on that hardware. I have a 10.3 box that is an AMD k6-2 450 w/256M that run 10.3 just fine without any desktop. Running kde 3.5 on it would be just about out of the question. The box works great as a fax-server, but desktop speed isn't what it has.... -- David C. Rankin, J.D.,P.E.
