Hardware Requirement for Linux. For Installing Linux Server/ Desktop Operating System, it need a specific configuration of hardware platform. The hardware also depends upon the sorts of Linux distribution. Here we are telling about Fedora Core 6.0 Linux distribution. Fedora Core 6 supports the x86, x86_64 and PowerPC platforms. Processor and Memory Requirements Intel, AMD, Cyrix, and VIA processor are used for Fedora Core 6. Here we are giving the detail of only Intel processor. Minimum Requirement for 32-bit version. Fedora Core 6 requires an Intel Pentium or better processor, and is optimized for Pentium 4 and later processors. Recommended for text-mode: 200 MHz Pentium-class or better Recommended for graphical: 400 MHz Pentium II or better Minimum RAM for text-mode: 128MB Minimum RAM for graphical: 192MB Recommended RAM for graphical: 256MB Hard Disk Space Requirement. Minimum space required at the initial stage at the time of installation is 90 MB, which required some additional space of 175 MB. But the total disk covers 9 GB space after the installation of all the packages including Java, Apache, Eclipse and Java Applications software. At least 5% free space should be maintained for proper system operation. Minimum Requirement for 64-bit version. Minimum RAM for text-mode: 128MB Minimum RAM for graphical: 256MB Recommended RAM for graphical: 512MB Minimum Requirement for 64-bit version. Minimum RAM for text-mode: 128MB Minimum RAM for graph ical: 256MB Recommended RAM for graphical: 512MB Hard Disk Space Requirements Minimum space required 90 MB for a minimal installation to as much as an additional 175 MB for an installation that includes nearly all the packages. The complete installed packages can occupy over 9 GB of disk space. 5% additional free space should also required for maintaining proper system operation. PowerPC Hardware Requirements Fedora Core 6 also runs on PowerPCs, which have different processor. Processor and Memory. Minimum CPU: PowerPC G3 / POWER3 Fedora Core 6 supports only the ?New World? generation of Apple Power Macintosh originates after 1999, but it also supports IBM pSeries, IBM iSeries, IBM RS/6000, Genesi Pegasos II, and IBM Cell Broadband Engine machines. Recommended for text-mode: 233 MHz G3 or better, 128MiB RAM. Recommended for graphical: 400 MHz G3 or better, 256MiB RAM. Hard Disk Space Requirements Minimum space required 90 MB for a minimal installation to as much as an additional 175 MB for an installation that includes nearly all the packages. The complete installed packages can occupy over 9 GB of disk space. 5% additional free space should also required for maintaining proper system operation.
