J'utilise FC2 (avec KDE) avec 128 MO de RAM, moi! Je n'y peux rien si Red Hat est trop prudent avec la RAM "minimale" qu'ils demandent dans les Release Notes!
Commentaire d'Eugenia Loli-Queru, d'OSNews.com :
Funnily, I did try Fedora Core 2 on a 128 MB Linux-certified machine (that was before I upgraded it to 384 MBs recently). I knew that FC2 required 192 MB minimum for graphical, but I didn't want to nuke my FC1 on my other machine that has 512 MB of RAM, so I decided to give it a quick TEST shot on that Duron machine with 128 MB. The result:
FC2 *was unusable*. And I mean, *unusable* with either KDE or Gnome. Things would load ages later or wouldn't load at all. I could only *kinda* use FC2 at 128 MB when I switched to XFce.
On the same machine, with 128 MB memory, I also tried Xandros, Mandrake 10, Arch Linux and Linare Linux. From the bunch Mandrake was the one that was "a bit" heavy, but all in all, the machine remained usable (NOT confortable by any means, but usable if you wanted to do a quick job with it). But FC2 was really not usable at 128MB, and because that fact gave me a glimpse of what's coming soon I actually decided to upgrade that machine (I didn't have any incentive to upgrade that machine before, it is not my primary machine, I just use it for some tests).
Entre d'une part, Red Hat, le rédacteur en chef d'un des meilleurs sites d'actu technique, et quelques reviewers, qui disent que ce n'est pas utilisable, et de l'autre, Kevin Kofler, qui dit que ça l'est... hum
