I've got FC2 running well on a old 128 MB PIII here. It could use some more
memory to reduce swapping, but it is completely usable, just a little slow.

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.
