Hello,

My computer is pretty old.
CPU: P3 1GHz
RAM: 384 MB
HD: 80 GB
GPU: Geforce 2 MX 400 64 MB

I wanna know which Fedora most fits in my pc. I hope that this distro
can run well in my box and won't take much resource.

Thank you very much~

Fedora will run OK on that box, the processor is fast enough but the
RAM is a little light. If you up the RAM to 512 or better yet 1G you'll
be a lot happier.

Thanks, and Fedora X is better in my box?

The latest Fedora is Fedora 7, that's the one you should use. The
resource requirements for the Fedora series have been pretty consistent.
If anything it seems like there has been some speed improvements in the
latest releases. Fedora 8 (which is in the test stage) feels even quicker
than 7. However F8 isn't ready yet for general use, I've found a serious
kernel bug in the 2.6.23 kernel that F8 is using. F7 is pretty solid so
you should have a good experience with it. As I said in the previous
post, you can run Fedora on your box and it's performance will be OK as
long as you don't try to do much multitasking. If you add some RAM you'll
find that the performance will be quite good.
