Minimum spec's for RedHat 8.0

[Energenie]

What would be considered the min. spec's for RedHat 8.0?? For the heck of it I installed it on a P166 with 32mb of ram and as expected it crawls...would also like to run Wine for windows apps.

RAM is more important than the processor, and of course it all depends a lot on what you want to do. If you turn off all eye candy, I think you could run GNOME/KDE pretty well on a ~300MHz processor, provided you have 128 MB of RAM. If you drop the desktop environment and use something like Blackbox, 32MB should be just enough to run one application process comfortably, but expect swapping if you try to multi-task.

Don't know what WINE requires - I would guess that taking the minimum requirements of your app under Windows and bumping it about 10-20% should be about right.

anything around 500 MHz and up with 128 MB of RAM should be o.k.

but if u want to run WINE i suggest something of 800 MHz and up and around 256 MB of RAM ( i always crashed when using lower amount of memory )
but, just like cleverhandle said u can just check the requirements of the software and bump it up.. altho from my experience u need to bump it up a lot more if u don't want your apps to crawl something like 40~50% is the sweet spot for me

or u could use a desktop manager that consume less memory.. ( just remember that the desktop manager must be compatible with XFree 4 or up, if u want to use the latest version of WINE )
