What's the hardware requirements for openSUSE 10.2 in text mode only?
I have a Pentium II 300MHz with 192 MB RAM, which I'm going to use as a
web and ftp/nfs/samba server.
Does it have enough horsepower, or should I look for another distro?

It is possible to run Opensuse 10.2 on that hardware, though I have some
doubt that the effort is worth the result. We are using a Pentium 650 as a
samba server in our company, but we are using a good scsi hardware raid.

Depending on what kind of webpages you intend to set up, a Pentium 300
will be slow, not matter what kind of distro you are running.
