thanks for asking, rene. while it's possible to run linux on a computer with 32 megs of RAM, you cannot get a graphical user interface (GUI) with that amount of RAM. the lowest amount of RAM I know of for a GUI is 128 megs of RAM (with ubuntu linux. http://www.ubuntulinux.com) - phil -- Phil Shapiro [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.his.com/pshapiro/ (personal) http://www.digitaldivide.net/blog/pshapiro (blog) http://www.digitaldivide.net/profile/pshapiro (technology access work) http://mytvstation.blogspot.com/ (video and rich media) "Speak your truth quietly and clearly; and listen to others." - Desiderata _______________________________________________ DIGITALDIVIDE mailing list [email protected] http://mailman.edc.org/mailman/listinfo/digitaldivide To unsubscribe, send a message to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with the word UNSUBSCRIBE in the body of the message.
