Want to put fedora on an old PC i have resurrected - heres the spec:

Intel Celeron A 400MGz processor with 128MB RAM using old Soundblaster 16 with a RAGE PRO 2x (8MB) graphics card with integrated TV card

I like the idea of Fedora but would it be suitable to run on a system like this? Its about 10 years old but is working fine running windows 2000. I wouldnt use the system to go online, more word processing etc. Any suggestions? (Am Linux newbie)

Thanks!!!!!!

I've had Fedora core 1 running on an old Dell PII with no problems for about a year now...
350Mhz, 128MB RAM, onboard sound and video.
It ain't quick but it's quicker than win98 which is on the other disc on the same machine...
crashes a helluva lot less too

Fedora will run fine on that box. Not my distro of choice though ....

I use Fedora Core 3, I just installed it on an old Win 98 comp less than 4 hrs ago, that comp has 340 mb ram, and like a 12 gb harddrive, I dunno. But my sound doesn't work. I can't surf the net on it yet, but check the internet because I'm not familiar with Celeron A, or go get a book out of the library. I'm not sure if you can use fedora with a before pentium, think you gotta use debian. But I'm not sure!

The redhat hardware list has the celeron A as compatible so there shouldn't be any issues...
