I haven't tried it anything below a P2 with 256 MB
RAM. It will possibly
run but be painfully slow on anything below that esp
when run as a live cd.

Another friend at worked has recommended Xubuntu on
that machine, and I told him to hold off till Fedora 9
is released and that I would install it for him, but
if he wants xubuntu, then I lost my battle. If he
goes for Xubuntu, I'll try to convince him to dual
boot. See how that goes :)
Regards,
Antonio
