Hi, The machines have about 64MB of RAM. According to most of you, thats going to be bad for running Mozilla etc. I think I will run basic X on these machines only. Personally, I am a fan of Redhat based variants, but I think I will try out debian and manually install X. Thanks for all your inputs. I will update this thread once I successfully install on some machines.
Thanks, Nikhil.
