| I have a 10 GB hard drive with windows Me on it. I was planning to partition the hard drive in half and install Fedora 8 on it. How much space does the typical Fedora 8 installation require? Is 5GB enough? Also, the computer only has 160 MB of RAM. Would it be a good idea to add on the additional 96MB so it has 256MB of RAM? 256MB is the biggest it can hold. I was also wondering about my modem. I use a U.S. Robotics 56K modem card for Windows. Is it possible to make it work under Fedora or any other Linux distribution? firefox |

If you have interesting, you can try Debian or Ubuntu |

I will definitely look at Debian and Ubuntu and see if I like them. firefox |
