I have a sylvania netbook with 1gb of ram 160gb hard drive 1.6ghz processor.
Running what OS? Trying to run a virtual-machine on a WinXP machine while running things like anti-virus, anti-spyware, screen-reader, etc may be a bit much for such a machine. However, if you're running a stripped-down Linux on your Sylvania, this may be enough to run a modest VM on it.
Do you think this machine has enough memory to run vinux gnome with orca in a virtual machine?
(just for the record, it's "Linux" with an L, rather than "Vinux" with a V) It would likely be doable, but a bit tight.
How much ram does gnome need?
I've run Gnome on a machine with only 128 megs of memory, but it was pretty sluggish. It runs well on my Dell Mini-9 netbook with only 512 megs of memory. So in theory, you could allot half your gig of memory to the VM image and be able to run Gnome tolerably. I'm not sure how much overhead Orca entails. However, you may also be able to run Orca without the overhead of all-of-Gnome -- perhaps running a more light-weight window-manager. I happen to like Fluxbox on my older machines (particularly with the numerous key-bindings I use to make apps just a key-chord away). -tim _______________________________________________ Blinux-list mailing list Blinux-list@xxxxxxxxxx https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/blinux-list
