Installation of Linux in 300 MHz with 128 MB ram
Hi
I am very new to Linux, but very keen to learn it.
I am having a desktop of 300 MHz with 128 MB RAM and 30 GB hard drive with Windows XP.
My first question is - Is there any version/flavour of Linux available that can be installed on above system especially Fedora with less compromise in terms of speed?
I am also having a 6 GB extra hard drive.
Please give me the suggesion what should I do ?
- Should I Make a dual operating system
- or use separate hard drive for linux as I am afraid using dual opearing system as if it may disturb Windows XP also, thereby making other windows based application non functional.
Also if u could show me the way to install linux, I would be very grateful.
Please help me out.
Thanks in advance.

I wish to install Red Hat linux 7.1 on a machine with 16mb of EDO Ram. When I enter the instalation process I am told 'You do not have enough memory'. Is there a way to install RHL with only the 16? Or will I have to upgrade and buy some very expensive EDO.

Hi bros,
CPU speed of Sun Sparc Enterprise T5140 in data sheet is 1200 Mhz. Why it shows in "prtdiag -v" command each thread just has speed at 1165 Mhz.

CPUPOWER-FREQUENCY-SET(1) cpupower Manual CPUPOWER-FREQUENCY-SET(1)
NAME
cpupower frequency-set - A small tool which allows to modify cpufreq settings.
SYNTAX
cpupower [ -c cpu ] frequency-set [options]
DESCRIPTION
cpupower frequency-set allows you to modify cpufreq settings without having to type e.g. "/sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu0/cpufreq/scal-
ing_set_speed" all the time.
OPTIONS
-d --min <FREQ>
new minimum CPU frequency the governor may select.
-u --max <FREQ>
new maximum CPU frequency the governor may select.
-g --governor <GOV>
new cpufreq governor.
-f --freq <FREQ>
specific frequency to be set. Requires userspace governor to be available and loaded.
-r --related
modify all hardware-related CPUs at the same time
REMARKS
By default values are applied on all cores. How to modify single core configurations is described in the cpupower(1) manpage in the --cpu
option section.
The -f FREQ, --freq FREQ parameter cannot be combined with any other parameter.
FREQuencies can be passed in Hz, kHz (default), MHz, GHz, or THz by postfixing the value with the wanted unit name, without any space (fre-
quency in kHz =^ Hz * 0.001 =^ MHz * 1000 =^ GHz * 1000000).
On Linux kernels up to 2.6.29, the -r or --related parameter is ignored.
