I have an old 400mHz Dell with a 20G hard drive and 125M ram. Can I install and run CentOS on it?
Depends on what you want to use it for. I have successfully run CentOS on PIIIs with as little as 256MB of memory, but with limited functionality enabled, usually as a firewall, SAMBA server and/or web server. In all cases I took care during installation to install as little software as possible, disable all unnecessary daemons and use only the command line.
