Well, I just read about RH "opening up the development process" to outsiders, over on ZDNet. *Then* I read the "system requirements" for 10: 200MHz for *non-graphical*, 400MHz for graphical...*minimum*.You aren't our target market.
Does RedHat think they're the next M$?
Now, up until a month or so ago, I was running 7.3 w/ KDE, w/ kernel & lib updates, etc. 7.3 came out, what, a year and a half ago?...and I'm running an AMD K-6 233 (ok, mine's "overclocked" to 250 <g>, for the SDRAM...).
No problem. I put IceWM in place of KDE, and it runs like a champ.
Now I've just upgraded to 9, same deal (though the once or twice I tried KDE, it ran slower than Lose95 on a '486). Non-graphical is jes' fine.
To me, one of my arguments is that you don't *have* to upgrade your hardware until it physically gives up the ghost. It's M$ that makes you have to upgrade hardware, every time you get a new release. Especially in the middle of the most major recessino since the Depression, when companies are running tight, and home users are strapped for cash, most can't afford to buy new hardware.
And RedHat's answer is...?
That said I think it may be easier to run redhat on older systems than before. I'm hoping that we'll manage to get them to add a light wm like blackbox. So you should be okay as long as you don't run OO, or mozilla.
