I'm not saying it would be pleasant, but Fedora with GNOME 3 is possible with 512 MB RAM, isn't it? |

Yes it is. This guy is a little but hurt that's all. |

Required. Recommended. They are two different things. (Really) |

Note the author did write "it’s [sic] memory requirement for installation", which is technically correct. Anaconda in F16 gave me the finger on a 512MB machine, even though I was running the LXDE spin. I found the text installer to be lacking (IMHO) basic things such as choosing a custom partitioning scheme, so said machine got yet again the *buntu treatment. |

I have been running Kubuntu on a desktop with 512 MB memory and 1 GHz CPU. It is mainly for testing purposes but I could do various things. For other things, it is very slow for most parts. |

Actually, you can run Fedora on 512MB RAM, especially if you're using the Xfce spin. It's not ideal, but it'll check your e-mail and surf the web. I don't know what drugs this guy is on, but he should avoid the brown acid. |

Quoting:I don't know what drugs this guy is on, but he should avoid the brown acid. Don't ruin his high man..;-) |

Debian Squeeze with KDE4 runs just nice here on a sandbox machine with 512 MB RAM. Memory consumption with empty desktop after a bit of tweaking: 109 MB RAM. |

Good point kikinovak. It's funny how those sandbox machines always seem to run much BETTER on parent-type distros such as Debian Squeeze, Fedora, Slackware, you-name-it, than on distros derived from these (:hint hint: nearly ANY of the *boontus as derivatives!) Probably 'cause there is much less cruft by default. 2c |

What's a sandbox machine? |
