Following on Akemi's excellent advice, CentOS 5 has much higher ram requirements due to yum and installer changes. The release notes recommend at least 512MB of ram, though 1G is preferable. From the sounds of things, Akemi is correct and CentOS 4 is really the only option unless you want to upgrade the hardware. -- During times of universal deceit, telling the truth becomes a revolutionary act.
