I just confirmed this a few weeks back. Installed stock RH 8.0 on a Pentium 133 MHz system with 32 MB RAM. The specs (as much as I can recall): Soundcard: Creative something, auto-detected. Video Card: Cirrus something, 1MB VRAM HDD: 1 GB IDE Monitor: 14" Daewoo SVGA Screen resolution: 800x600x16 DE: Gnome2 WM: Metacity The system doesn't take too long to boot (< 1 min). Gnome2 takes time to load but once done, response times are quick. Which is the newest version of Windows that can be installed on that machine? -- Tahir Hashmi (VSE, NCST) http://staff.ncst.ernet.in/tahir tahir AT ncst DOT ernet DOT in We, the rest of humanity, wish GNU luck and Godspeed -- _______________________________________________ http://mm.ilug-bom.org.in/mailman/listinfo/linuxers
