The reason I ask is because a friend wants to try out
linux on an old p3 with the following specs

Another friend at worked has recommended Xubuntu on
that machine, and I told him to hold off till Fedora 9
is released and that I would install it for him, but
if he wants xubuntu, then I lost my battle.  If he
goes for Xubuntu, I'll try to convince him to dual
boot.  See how that goes :)

Regards,

Antonio
