Good morning, I've inherited an old laptop from my wife that I'd like to use when I travel (it's fairly small with a 12" screen). The bad part is that it is maxed out on memory with 384MB. Has anyone played with using Centos5 on systems with little memory? Ideally, I don't need too much - Firefox, Openoffice, a little Perl/Python/C here and there. I was thinking about using either XFCE or Icewm as the window manager. I'd also like it to work with the existing wireless card (Dlink DWL-G650). Any thoughts or recommendations? TIA! Jeff
As others have said, you should be fine with 384MB RAM. One thing to note - I think the graphical installer requires 512MB to run (check the release notes) so you would need to perform a text mode install. Do a fairly minimal install and add whatever you want afterwards with YUM.
