-- Posted by Macropiper at 12:34 am on April 16, 2004 Well, im am minutes away from installing RedHat 9 linux on the crappy computer in my room, wish me luck. Hopefully, nothing goes wrong. Will either see you online in a while from this computer or see you lot online from the other computer. -- Posted by PiXiE at 2:02 am on April 16, 2004 Have fun! It took my dad a whole day to install it, then it was too slow for him, so he uninstalled it and put windows back on. Hopefully you will have better luck! -- Posted by vitamin at 3:21 am on April 16, 2004 Good luck. What system u putting it on? -- Posted by Elvish15601 at 4:58 am on April 16, 2004 my redhat is slow to but thats becuase i only have 32MB of RAM -- Posted by Macropiper at 3:00 pm on April 16, 2004 Celeron 366 with 192 mb RAM. Voodoo Banshee videocard is the main problem, bloody thing wont go above 800 by 600 screen resolution. It fucked it up the first time I tried becasue I left it on a higher resolution and couldnt read anything. Installing again now. -- Posted by Elvish15601 at 3:06 pm on April 16, 2004 you may have to find linux drivers for it on the net -- Posted by BBallAsh23 at 9:22 am on April 17, 2004 good luck...or i suppose you did it by now... -- Posted by vitamin at 7:23 pm on April 17, 2004 Quote: from Elvish15601 at 12:58 pm on April 16, 2004 my redhat is slow to but thats becuase i only have 32MB of RAM u put redhat 9 on 32mb ram!

I wouldn't recommend slack for this, perhaps Gentoo? -- Posted by mephisto mortis at 8:03 am on July 9, 2004 Quote: from BostonDave at 12:26 pm on July 8, 2004[quote perhaps Gentoo? i believe gentoo has a 64 meg o ram requirement if you are going to do things gui style. it also takes up alot of space on ur hd (i believe my friend told me it was 4 gig) because $emerge system takes alot of space and usually is like a 5 hour process
