Oh dear! My wife used to be quite happy with RHL 6.2 on a Pentium 133 Mhz, 64 Mbytes etc.
Red Hat seems to have everything hooked into anacron, so for EL/FC users this shouldn't be a problem.That's assuming you have anacron installed. I'm pretty sure its optional and I don't remember if its installed by default.
