That's an odd amount of RAM, though. Did you mean 512? Unfortunately, I really mean 52Mb. It was supposed to have been upgraded from 8Mb to 64Mb. Through a rather bizarre series of events (in too long a story to tell here), it ended up 52Mb. > It'll work with 32 MB, that's all the RAM I have on my P1, and it > works fine, cache and all. This is excellent news. I intended to keep this smaller machine. The bigger one with more RAM and the larger hard drives is incredibly heavy which was why I was intending to recycle it even though it's more "modern." However, I'll keep both of them and see which one works well before I do any more recycling. > Amazingly the distro runs om some really slow and minimal hardware. > > There is also some excellent online and downloadable setup and user > manuals on the distro's site.
