Operating Systems Linux Red Hat RHEL5 Installation doubt.. Post 302262872 by KenJackson on Saturday 29th of November 2008 10:22:04 AM

Why wouldn't you go with FedoraCore 10, the latest release? It's usually easier to upgrade to a later version of the same distro than switch. (I haven't used RH since FC was split off, so I don't know how well RHEL and FC play together.)

The Upgrading Fedora wiki has information that might be helpful. They say you can actually use the graphical installer with as little as 192MB, though I'm with robertmcol--use the text installer. (Type linux text at the boot: prompt.)

Your main concern with limited memory is which window manager or environment to use instead of the heavyweights Gnome or KDE. I love the very lightweight IceWM, which Fedora supports. But there is also the ever popular lightweight Xfce environment and others.
