And as a regular Mandrake 10 user at home, I'll add that Mandrake with 
64 or 128 would most likely be pretty slow, too. Of course you can do a 
very minimal install. Probably it's more about what they expect you to 
install. Fedora is a little more about "testing," while Mandrake is a 
little more about "using," and Fedora is a little more about servers 
while Mandrake is a LOT about desktops. In both categories there's an 
implication that you'll have more installed and running at the same time 
on Fedora. Not that you have to.
