The "interface" (desktop) IS quite cool with a meg or so of memory. It'll be slower than a turtle though, with 256K of memory, even if you have a meg or so of swap. Maybe you'd be better served with XFCE instead. It's minimal, but faster with low ram. I just installed CentOS to "Mom's Machine" which is an older PIII with a Cyrix chipset with 640K of memory. I fondly remember running RedHat on a 486 DX/2 66 with 32 megs of ram, but that was SOME time ago! Good luck! I tried installing Damn Small Linux from a live CD and that never made the trip either. BTW, an install of Kubuntu and Mandrake failed miserably on "Mom's Machine", while CentOS installed without a burp in the barrel. You might give that a whirl if F8 or F9 don't do the job, yet want to use an RPM based distro. Good luck!
