Good News from the LUG

This comes from one who has been with Linux since day one, so he should know.

Subject: [linux-users] Good news from MS!!

Hi Folks,

  "Microsoft has released 'minimum' and 'recommended'
   specifications for Vista.

   The minimum means that the operating system will run
   but some new features will be disabled. Recommended
   means that this is what is needed to get the most basic
   configuration of the whole package working.

   VISTA HARDWARE CHECKLIST
                            Minimum           Recommended
   Processor                800MHz            1GHz 32 or 64 bit
   System Memory            512MB             1GB
   Graphics card            DirectX 9 capable Runs Windows Aero
   Graphics Memory          - -               128MB
   Free space on Hard Drive 15GB              15GB

Well, that's good news! If Vista catches on, there should be
a good bit of decent kit coming cheap onto the secondhand market
that would run Linux very nicely. Looking forward to that!

Best wishes to all,
Ted.
