The crank that old computers have to make them go... a joke! <chuckles> > >KDE worked well enough. So, stick the FC5 CD in and let her rip. > isn't it true that gnome is lighter than KDE?? There's several desktops much lighter than both. Trying to remember their names off the top of my head, XFCE? Something like that. KDE can be a hawg for sure. But your older machine has more speed and memory than the one I used to run FC5 and KDE on, so it's not impossible at all. But you may find yourself doing a text-based install depending on your video card setup. That is no biggie at all. Keep the animation crap and bells and whistles turned off, plus any unnecessary services, it'll go just fine. Your machine beats the Hell out of my old 486 with 32 megs of memory. I ran Caldera on it and it served 20 users on old B&W terminals and 8 modems. The good ole BBS days, AHH! My Youth!
