Fedora Core 2 worked nicely on my P3 450MHz with 192MB RAM. I would recommend upgrading the RAM on that machine. Rest everything looks fine. If you want a super slim and responsive installation then go in for Debian Sarge. My P1 166MHz works like a charm and the install is just over 300MB :) Though I dont have X installed and no multimedia :P -- Dinesh A. Joshi -- http://mm.glug-bom.org/mailman/listinfo/linuxers
