Hello Linux enthusiasts everywhere,
I have been on the market for buying a PC for a long time and it looks like I
am now going to buy one with a spec to suit Linux as I wish to install both
Linux and X11 when I eventually buy the PC in a few weeks. I have settled on
the spec below :
486SX 25 MHz processor
SVGA Monitor
ET4000 based video card with 1 Meg RAM
4 meg RAM on the motherboard
100MEg Hard disk
as I will be running both Linux and X11 with a text editor such as Emacs, and
Gcc as my minimum Linux set up, I was wondering if any knowledgable readers out
there could tell me how much diskspace this is likely to take and is 100Meg
Hard disk a sensible option when I will also be running Windows and Dos 5.0
(bleurgh!!!) with Word 2.0 for WIndows installed on the hard disk....
Thanks
ZM
