vaguer. Maybe realistic minimums for the default desktop, and a note
that the requirements will vary widely depending on what you're doing
with the system. (My mailserver is currently using a princely 119MB of
RAM, and that's a perfectly valid use case for Fedora. Well, that
actually runs Mandriva, but I expect it'd be much the same on Fedora.)
unfortunately, anaconda itself has it's own minimum requirements, which are bigger than the linux itself requirements . so i doubt anaconda will run on systems with less than 256 mb of ram . maybe that's where 384 is coming from.
This should be filed as a request for the docs team, as they own the
relevant document.
