I live in a rural area and am getting people interested in Linux. We're thinking of starting up a Linux club, and I'd like to know of the experiences of others in sizing a system to run Fedora -- that is, the LOW END starter system suitable for a start-up Linux club.
If you're buying new hardware, anything will be an excellent starter system. Just put enough RAM in there for Fedora... at least 128MB if you are using graphical, more if you can get it.
To prove my point, I am running Fedora on a Pentium/166 with 32MB of RAM and a 500MB disk (in text mode, of course) as a small network server (firewall/gateway, dhcp, dns, and ntp for 10 workstations) and it runs just fine.
