thats why i said in my above post it is good to be used on servers but its bloated for home users .
I'm running a RAID5*3 + LVM setup on the server at my work - distros like slackware/ubuntu/gentoo/damn-small-linux, would not quite be able to handle that, and those that do, wont be as easy to manage. Do you remember my outburst here a few months ago, about ubuntu's lack of source/compiling? - LINK[/b]
this condition u stated above isnt common for home users ..
Did you understand the meaning of what they've put up? They mean to say 128 MB needed for text-mode SETUP!!!!!!! [/b]
ok i was wrong abt that i thought its minimum requirements for running fedora .. But still it would run slow in graphical mode if you have less than 256 mb ram :=/

BTW even XP is bloated if we consider soem views presented here, as it refuses to run smooth on a system with less than 256MB ram ,and so would be Vista.
. I also do not like ubuntu ( personal reasons 
) .. So i use vectorlinux with kde and xfce4 and that runs fastest for me . If you want really fast distro i recommend vectorlinux soho 5.1 it runs really nice ( once you get it working with your hardware ) and also its boot time is much much less too , you can use all slackware packages on it without any prob ( or configure make makeinstall routine 
)
