 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,

Well, if it helps..
I run a small pentium with mandrake 7.0

system is a:

pentium intel 133
64 megs ram
4.3 gig hard drive
44X CD-ROM Drive
1.44 floppy
external 56k modem
ensoniq sound card
wintv/radio card
PS/2 trackball
104 keyboard  non-PS/2
ati rage II video card

with all that and runs fine.
32 meg is ok, but better porformance with 64 megs ram. :)

you might want to check to see if all your hardware is supported in linux, just to 
save a lot of
headaches. :)

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.

But now I know that what I thought I knew
Isn't what I know I think I thought I knew.
