Re: Minimum Hardware Requirements for Salix

Thanks for the responses.


The K6-2 has a slower floating point unit than a Pentium 2 but this is only relevant for some multimedia stuff and 3D action games. But IMHO I have to say that using any recent Linux distribution on such an old computer is no fun, try at least to upgrade your RAM ...

Minimum Hardware Requirements for Salix

Hi, what are the minimum hardware requirements to run Salix 13.1?

Same as Slackware?

I have an old Compaq 7463 pc with an AMD K6-2 processor, 128 MB RAM, running Slackware 11.0 and I want to install Salix-Fluxbox 13.1, but I do not know if it's a good idea.

Thanks in advance for your advice ...
