Consider these memory requirements for Fedora Core 2, as specified by Red Hat: Minimum for graphical: 192MB and Recommended for graphical: 256MB Does that sound any alarm bells with you? 192MB minimum? I've been running Linux for five years (and am a huge supporter), and have plenty of experience with Windows, Mac OS X and others. And those numbers are shocking -- severely so. No other general-purpose OS in existence has such high requirements. Linux is getting very fat.

and it costs less than $40.
So, your point is FC2 won run on your old Duron box. OK, that's a point. It won't, and I think the Fedora people intended it that way.
Then you claim "Linux is getting fat" ...
Linux is a kernel. It runs on machines with 2MB of RAM quite well, depending on kernel version.
GNU/Linux is an OS. It runs on anything from an embedded system with 2MB of RAM to an IBM 390 with GBs of core.
