Just as a data point: I have RHL 7.3 running on a Toshiba Libretto
100, in the beginning with 32MB, now 64MB (maximum). Runs nicely, but
don't even dream of running Gnome/KDE (but then again: Who needs them,
anyway.... <ducks>).

That would be the RULE project: http://www.rule-project.org/

Maybe people should get into the habit of also giving a URL to
find that archive each time they point to it, as Red Hat themselves
does not provide a searchable archive anymore.

Cheerio,
