redhat/fedora bases distro that will run on 64mb of memory
is there a redhat/fedora based distro that will install on a pentium III with 64mb of memory. Already have puppy, dsl, slack 12.1, debian testing, and freebsd 7.0. installed. For about a year now trying to learn linux and the different major distros installations and configurations.

The reality is that you are really not going to learn much about the CURRENT versions of Linux with much less than 512mb of ram. I run a 1Ghz PIII with 512 and for basic tasks (email, browsing, etc) I see little difference between it and my 3800X2. For Cpu intensive tasks there is (of course) a huge difference. While one can say that Linux is Linux, there really is a drastic difference between DSL (and other minimalist distros) and RH/Fedora (and other arguably bloated distros). I think it is similar to comparing dos 3.3 and XP.

I'm not doing anything with dsl or puppy I'm concentrating more on slackware and debian right now. and had just recently installed freebsd. by using a computer with less memory it forces me to use the command line more instead of just point and click. which was about all i did when i had install Xubuntu on a computer that did have the extra memory. if there is'nt a redhat based distro that will run on 64mbs I'll concentrate on that when i switch back to my other computer
