I have an old 400mHz Dell with a 20G hard drive and 125M ram. Can I install and run CentOS on it? Thanks, Mike.
My firewall is a Pentium 75 with 48 MB of RAM running CentOS 4.7 + current. I did a text based install, and the install took a very long time, but it works very well ..despite taking about 5 minutes to boot up.
--- Yes, even with a HP Machine 400Mhz Celeron and 128 MB of ram will work wonders. Top it off running on the GUI, all a bit slow but it will steam along. Try to find 3 more MB of ram because you really need it. Firefox is a lag to load but will eventually get rolling.
