I have a Dell Inspiron 3000 - 233 Mhz Pentium with MMX, maxed out RAM (256
or 384 MB?) and a 6.3 GB HD. Loading Redhat 7.0 was a snap (Windows
complained while it was being erased, but then Widows always complains about
something...;). It would not load Redhat 7.1, and I have not tried 7.2.

I use the machine as a mini web server - I have Apache and Catalina
(servlets, JSP) running with a MySQL database. I alternate between Gnome GUI
and command line. The X/Gnome takes a while to load, but then works well. I
use Forte version 1.0 (version 2 and up need a faster processor)- real slow
to load but works fine for code development. I have even run StarOffice 5.2
- again slow to load, but ok when running.
