FYI, http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Docs/Beats/ArchSpecific#Hardware_requirements_for_x86 states that the minimum requirements for x86 are: * Recommended for text-mode: 200 MHz Pentium-class or better * Recommended for graphical: 400 MHz Pentium II or better * Minimum RAM for text-mode: 128MiB * Minimum RAM for graphical: 192MiB * Recommended RAM for graphical: 256MiB I'd dispute the CPU requirements (but that's another subject anyway) but I'm having to allocate at least 384MB of (virtual) RAM for the system to not regularly OOM. That seems a little high, even for rawhide. Do the minimum requirements need updating?
