[Herefordshire] Vector Linux

[Julian Robbins]

Hi Andrew

Straight from the website :-

VL 4.3 Hardware Requirements

The minimum hardware requirements to run VectorLinux 4.3 are a 166 MHz 
Pentium class processor with 32 MB of RAM memory, and just 850 MB of 
hard disc space (*).

To have a more comfortable experience with VectorLinux 4.3 we would 
recommend a 233 MHz (MMX) processor with 64 MB of memory as a minimum.

(*) 835 MB of space for the installation plus 64 MB of swap space is the 
very minimum.
Extra space would be required for additional applications and / or your 
personal files.

RAM is very important too. a 166P I with 128MB RAM is probably as good 
as a 300MHz PII with only 32MB ram .. Mind you old ram isn't so cheap 
nowadays.
