It's October 22 today. A completely random date in the grand scheme of things (we Dutch lost a big naval battle to the Ming dynasty on October 22 1633), but it also happens to be the release date of the newest version of Windows - Windows 7. Since Windows is still the most popular desktop operating system out there, this is pretty big news.

well, 512MB of RAM today is smaaaaaal
even for a netbook...
It might work with slimed-down settings, havent tried...
I havent tried but does the latest fedora/ubuntu/mandriva work well on a 512MB system with fullblown GNOME/KDE4 desktop and all whistles?
If you only have low-spec machines, dont use 7
Wouldnt install a modern(mainstream) linux-distribution on a low-specc machine either...
