Default installing Fedora 8

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?

I think, you'd better not to install fedora. because, a basic fedora
will need about 4G hard disk space, in addition, the memory is too
small. if you run a popular GUI, it will be very slow. If you have
interesting, you can try Debian or Ubuntu

Thanks for the info fetag. I think I will get a bigger hard drive and
add on the maximum amount of memory. I will definitely look at Debian
and Ubuntu and see if I like them.
