Thanks for your interest.  Sorry that the information you sought was not
easy to find.  I'm curious, how did you go about finding the information
from the Xandros website?

Hardware requirements[1] are available in the release notes, which are
within the Fedora distribution itself (/usr/share/doc/fedora-release-
X/RELEASE-NOTES-*.html) and on the website:

http://fedora.redhat.com/docs/release-notes/fc5/test2-latest-en/sn-arch-specific.html#sn-arch-specific-x86-hardware-reqs

Finally, we use the Wiki[2] for updating this content.
