People do install Fedora on those. To be honest, I run low on normal HW as well, and often have to "make space" for Version upgrades. It would be much nicer if we could handle this problem by installing smaller sets of rpms, and downloading the next set of rpms only when the first got installed and deleted to make space. But then there is the risk to end up with a frankensetup if you lose network before the full upgrade is done... On some systems I would even prefer to download as you go, as I have more b/w than storage, but I do not want to experiment with putting /var/cache on nfs ...
