And since it was introduced in 1995, if your computer is less than 14
years old, you'll be doing fine.

No way Fedora is about to adopt OS X manners, Mr Konstam. Sleep tight :)

On a Pro, I'm afraid the RAM would have to be updated, though, even
for text mode. Here's a source for an HP Vectra XW Pentium Pro 200 :

How about paying $278.92 for 64 MB of RAM?

I suppose Fedora decided to drop i586 support just to make sure that
people don't get into even more stupid deals :)

Loooong live Linux!
