Thanks for the answer. Is there any way to add some kind of external RAM to the Presario Notebook, so it will work with the newest CentOS? It would be the best to learn on the newest software, and also get it to work, for cheap (router that I want to get is around $15, like I already mentioned, I dont want to spend too much money on that).

Edit:

It looks like I can buy new RAM part (better) and replace it in the notebook. Questions here would be, how much RAM do I need, in order for everything to work (I would not want to pay more, than I need to), and would there be anything else, that is needed, for the notebook part (as far as what I am trying to do)?

Edit2:

"The installer needs at least 406MB of memory to work. On systems with less memory then 406MB the installation will terminate with a fatal error. 512MB is the minimum memory requirement for CentOS-7."

I may be installing other distros like Ubuntu or Debian too. Will it be ok to get something like 512MB, or would I go for something around 700MB, or 1GB (again, I want to save as much money as possible, even though the price should not be much different with this).

Thanks.

qrq

QRQ(1)								   User Manuals 							    QRQ(1)

NAME

       qrq - High speed Morse telegraphy trainer

SYNOPSIS

       qrq

       qrqscore [OPTION]

DESCRIPTION

       qrq is an open source Morse code trainer for various platforms and operating systems, similar to the classic DOS version of Rufz by DL4MM.

       It's  not intended for learning telegraphy (have a look at http://radio.linux.org.au/ for CW learning software), but to improve the ability
       to copy callsigns at high speeds, as needed for example for contesting.

       After starting the software and setting up the parameters (speed, CW waveform...), the program  sends  50  amateur  radio  callsigns.  When
       entering  a  copied  callsign  correctly,  the  speed increases, otherwise it decreases. Points are awarded for correctly copied callsigns,
       depending on the speed.

       A scoreboard/toplist exists on the author's website, at http://fkurz.net/ham/qrqtop.php. The local toplist file can  be	synchronized  with
       the online toplist with qrqscore -d and you can upload your own top scores by invoking qrqscore -u.

FILES

       qrqrc
	      Default configuration file
       callbase.qcb
	      Database of amateur radio callsigns used by qrq. Other files may be loaded.
       toplist
	      Default toplist file

       qrq  is	looking for these files in the current directory, in ~/.qrq/ or in DESTDIR/share/qrq/ (in that order). In the latter case, ~/.qrq/
       is created, for an user-specific toplist and configuration.
