I have Pentium II Processor with 64 MB RAM. The drive which I am thinking
of converting into Lihnux (F:) has 2.92 GB hard disk space. Current file
system is FAT 32. I am thinking of loading Red Hat Linux (may be latest
version) and Appache web server by formating that drive.
I know I can have appache on Windows, but as my client's environment is
different and as I have urge to learn Linux I want to install Linux on my
m/c itself.
Whether above mentioned hardware is ok to install Linux ?
