Dear all,
I know that the release notes have not come out, but I
want to find out what are the bare minimum
requirements to get Fedora 9 installed onto a
computer.
I have seen Ubuntu 8.0.4 LTS (Hardy Heron) being
released and they have a page with the system
requirements:
https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation/SystemRequirements
I looked for the Fedora equivalent page but the
closest I have found is
http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Docs/Beats/ArchSpecific
but it only specifies for installation purposes. I
would like to know the requirements because several of
my friends have become interested in linux and I told
them to install Fedora, one already installed *buntu
and he is loving it.
What are the requirements for KDE?
for Gnome?
XFce?
other DE if they also count?
Would Fedora 9 work ok with a machine with the
following specs
cat /proc/cpuinfo
processor : 0
vendor_id : GenuineIntel
cpu family : 6
model : 7
model name : Pentium III (Katmai)

fdiv_bug : no
hlt_bug : no
f00f_bug : no
coma_bug : no

would a machine like this one run Fedora 9 ok or is
better to try something like Xubuntu?
I would like your recommendations for a friend.
Thanks in Advance,
Antonio
