[newbie] 6.2 Requirements
Hi Group, System specs, P166 32 RAM 2.0 GIG HD In about 3 months, I will purchase a power PC. Wanted to know if this will be enough to run Linux RedHat 6.2 or an older version of Mandrake? I can tinker around with Linux until my new system gets here that way I will know how to set it up and operate. I apologize if this isn't the right forum for this question. Thanks, Ron

Thanks, Ron you might want to check to see if all your hardware is supported in linux, just to save a lot of headaches. :)
Re: [newbie] 6.2 Requirements
This forum is the correct place for ANY questions if you need assistance with any of Linux, mostly Mandrake, but we will work with any of them if we know how. As far as I can tell from my system even with Mandrake, YES, you can select what you want installed. It may NOT install ALL of the software, but will give you enough to run and test to your hearts content. NO, I am not experienced with any of this software, but I have done about 12 different installs my self to see what worked and what should be left alone. If you do the 'SERVER' install, which is the least amount of software installed, you can then go back and RE-install (as a fresh install) over that for what ever you like. don I thought I knew that I knew what I thought But now I know that what I thought I knew Isn't what I know I think I thought I knew.
