Hi there,

For the record, I run SUSE on a machine with 256 MB or RAM. It copes with
plenty of applications that are run simultaneously. The hardware cost just
165 quid at the time and I suspect it costs under 130 quid at the moment
(was 127 last year at Best Buy). I'm getting a new jumbo-sized monitor in
about 20 minutes! Can't wait...!
I'm running a SUSE 10.1 system with 1GB of RAM, Athlon64 and NV6800GS
graphics on a 22" NEC MultiSync, for little over Au$1200. Its certainly
a capable 3D beast (Doom3 Ultimate quality at 1600x1200 with 4xFSAA is
silky smooth), but its only my want for well-decent 3D-ability that has
led me to build such a system. My first linux box was far more modest
with only 128MB of RAM on a 1.1GHz AMD Duron. Mandrake 9.0/KDE ran
nicely on that, but a free P133/48MB laptop I scored managed to run
Red Hat 9.0 with IceWM quite adequately (KDE was a bit too heavy for
only 48MB RAM)...
