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.

>Running XP with less than 256MB of RAM is a disk-thrashing nightmare
what are u talking about...
I had a Celeron 400 with 128 mb RAM
and Win XP PRO and Office XP was usable on that machine. Not fast true, but not unbearablly slow.
Now I upgrade the machine to Celeron 533 + 256mb.
It's actually pretty fast (not fast enough to play game, but fast enough for IE+winamp+chat program).
