What's the hardware requirements for openSUSE 10.2 in text mode

Does it have enough horsepower, or should I look for another distro?


It depends on what sort of load you expect, but I've got a Pentium
233MMX with 128M running 10.2 just fine.

Fair enough. You're not running beagle or ZMD on it are you?

I'll have to check - ZMD almost certainly. It's actually a vanilla
openSUSE 10.2 install.

What packages do you have installed? Or if the list's too long, how
many?

I think the total install was about 1.6G, but I don't know how many
packages - is there an easy way to look it up?

What package management system do you use?

Vanilla YaST. Granted, it is slow and when running in just 128M, it's
swapping quite a bit too. With 196M it's fine.

This machine is meant to replace our current firewall/gateway which is
an ancient 486DX2 with 24M running suse 7.1. It's doing perfectly fine,
but we want to upgrade to a more recent suse version.
