Hi, im a totally linux newbie and i would like to install it on my little server that is currently running windows ME (holy sh**).
The only problem is that im not sure it is enought good to support it...
Here is the spec of that server:

Pentium MMX Processor @ 233 mhz
32 Mo SDRam
6 GB Hd
4 Mb S2 or S3 videocard

Will I be able to install it and run it without bugs?

Ah and another question!

I was planning to install linux on my computer but i already installed RedHat on it the other time but i couldnt go see the harddrives and manages them... With mandrake will i be able to manage my 2 harddrives or is it impossible? (sry for my noob and my english) Im now with Win Xp and im boored of this bullshit full of bugs !

My compu:
AMD athlon 2400+ (2 ghz)
384 ram
GeforceFX 5200 128 mb
1 Maxtor 40 gb and 1 WDC 120 gb

Thx for any comments or help !

Beluga, a

Edit: Oh, i forgot, is there any program that can install windows programs or games, cuz im playing a lot of games like SoF2, Wolfenstein, etc.?

The only limitation you will have with many distributions is the amount of physical ram your system has. If you check with each distribution spec for minimum computer requirements that will get you closer to answering your question. Try http://www.linux.org - Distributions. There are many good sections at that site. Good luck and welcome to the Open Source community!

For more information about the HOWTO's in Linux, you can also check out The Linux Documentation Project and even download that site to disk for reference. http://www.tldp.org

thx i searched but it did not respond to my question, it doesnt tell if we can manage the 2 like in windows... the only thing i found is http://www.tldp.org/HOWTO/Multi-Disk-HOWTO.html but i dont think its the good thing... help plz! thx

You shouldn't have any problems running Linux on such a machine. Running X on it might be a little slow, you can try using a lighter desktop though, like XFce, Fluxbox, Blackbox and so on if you really need a GUI on it.

You might want to stick with a smaller lighter distro as well, like Slackware or one of its spinoff's. I've installed Slackware 9.0 on a Pentium 75mhz with only a 500meg hard drive before.. it wasn't superfast but with no GUI it did its purpose.

Wolfenstein run natively on linux through the linux client.
