discuss what you feel is the ideal hardware platform for a typical PC that is going to run Red Hat Fedora Linux.

1. A Fedora system requires a minimum of 700 MB storage for a command-line system. A desktop system with the default applications requires at least 3 GB of storage. You may install multiple copies of Fedora on the same computer.

   Configure any RAID functions provided by the mainboard of your computer, or attached controller cards, before you begin the installation process. Fedora can automatically detect many RAID devices and use any storage they provide.

   The Fedora Project provides distributions of Fedora Core for several different types of computer systems. Each distribution of Fedora Core is built for computers based on a specific architecture. The architecture describes the processor on which the computer is built. Most computers come with identifying marks and literature describing the processor inside the computer. Refer to your computer's marks or literature and find its architecture in the list below:

   i386

   Intel x86-compatible processors, including Intel Pentium and Pentium-MMX, Pentium Pro, Pentium-II, Pentium-III, Celeron, Pentium 4, Xeon, Core Duo, and Centrino/Centrino Duo; VIA C3/C3-m and Eden/Eden-N; and AMD Athlon, AthlonXP, Duron, AthlonMP, Sempron, and Turion
   ppc

   PowerPC processors, such as those found in Apple Power Macintosh, G3, G4, and G5, and IBM pSeries systems
   x86_64

   64-bit AMD processors such as Athlon64/FX/X2, Turion64, Opteron; and Intel 64-bit processors such as EM64T

   Best wishes!!

1. It can run on about anything but you can find this information out on their website (http://fedora.redhat.com) about the minimum hardware requirements.

   The faster the CPU the better, but I have ran fedora core 1 on a old 400 MHz celeron w/ 256 Ram w/ no problems. When I put it on a Pentium 4 it ran faster. You don't need much more than 512 ram otherwise the system will barely use it.

   Hope that helps
