Dear all, I know that the release notes have not come out, but I want to find out what are the bare minimum requirements to get Fedora 9 installed onto a computer. I have seen Ubuntu 8.0.4 LTS (Hardy Heron) being released and they have a page with the system requirements: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation/SystemRequirements I looked for the Fedora equivalent page but the closest I have found is http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Docs/Beats/ArchSpecific but it only specifies for installation purposes. I would like to know the requirements because several of my friends have become interested in linux and I told them to install Fedora, one already installed *buntu and he is loving it. What are the requirements for KDE? for Gnome? XFce? other DE if they also count? Would Fedora 9 work ok with a machine with the following specs cat /proc/cpuinfo processor : 0 vendor_id : GenuineIntel cpu family : 6 model : 7 model name : Pentium III (Katmai) stepping : 3 cpu MHz : 451.017 cache size : 512 KB fdiv_bug : no hlt_bug : no f00f_bug : no coma_bug : no fpu : yes fpu_exception : yes cpuid level : 2 wp : yes flags : fpu vme de pse tsc msr pae mce cx8 sep mtrr pge mca cmov pat pse36 mmx fxsr sse up bogomips : 903.08 clflush size : 32 cat /proc/meminfo MemTotal: 510372 kB MemFree: 20152 kB Buffers: 47824 kB Cached: 276884 kB SwapCached: 4 kB Active: 203556 kB Inactive: 241360 kB HighTotal: 0 kB HighFree: 0 kB LowTotal: 510372 kB LowFree: 20152 kB SwapTotal: 1052248 kB SwapFree: 1052244 kB Dirty: 0 kB Writeback: 0 kB AnonPages: 120204 kB Mapped: 46632 kB Slab: 25136 kB SReclaimable: 15952 kB SUnreclaim: 9184 kB PageTables: 1368 kB NFS_Unstable: 0 kB Bounce: 0 kB CommitLimit: 1307432 kB Committed_AS: 257348 kB VmallocTotal: 507896 kB VmallocUsed: 13172 kB VmallocChunk: 494600 kB would a machine like this one run Fedora 9 ok or is better to try something like Xubuntu? I would like your recommendations for a friend.
