I have thinking for sometime switching over to linux. Before I do a
total
conversion I want to test the waters a little bit. I have an old
Gateway,
486 66 machine with about 16 megs of RAM, 1 gig of hard disk and 8X cd
player. Could iLinux be installed on such a machine? I don't want to
upgrade the hardware but I can if it will make a real difference.
Thank you for any advice.
Kevin Jennings
You'll be fine. Linux makes very efficient use of resources.
My first system was a 486SX 33Mhz with 8 Mb ram and a 250 M
drive. Worked great. Of course the XWindow stuff takes a
bit of room.
Good luck,
Robert
