The important thing is amount of RAM and VGA card. BIOS may limit your hard drive size, too. As to Linux Distro, I'd forget Red Hat 6, since it's pretty old. Try LuBuntu on the P2, Xubuntu on the P3, with enough RAM, etc. Kubuntu, etc. should work. Puppy will be a good choice, and soon it will have the choice to run as user, too.

What hardware specs recommendations ( ram, hard drives etc.) to run this distro? Or would I be better off trying to run a low impact distro such as Ubuntu variations ( kubuntu, xubuntu etc.)\Puppy, dsl, mint, etc Thank you [Non-text portions of this message have been removed] ------------------------------------ To unsubscribe from this list, please email [email protected] & you will be removed.Yahoo!
