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.

I don't believe all what you say, not one bit. I use XP on a 256 MB machine as well as many others on an Athlon-XP 1.3 GHz and it runs great. Either your installation is hosed, or you blatantly lie.
