Red Hat Linux 9 requirements

[Ed Wilts <ewilts ewilts org>]

This is taken from the release notes and will hopefully let you make an
informed decision if you've got enough hardware to install the latest
release.  I haven't installed it yet, don't even have it downloaded yet,
but thought the hardware requirements would be useful to have publicly
available.  

   The following information represents the minimum hardware
requirements necessary to successfully install Red Hat Linux 9:

   CPU:

   - Minimum: Pentium-class
   - Recommended for text-mode: 200 MHz Pentium-class or better
   - Recommended for graphical: 400 MHz Pentium II or better

   Hard Disk Space (NOTE: Additional space will be required for user data):
   
- Custom Installation (minimum): 475MB
   - Server (minimum): 850MB
   - Personal Desktop: 1.7GB
   - Workstation: 2.1GB
   - Custom Installation (everything): 5.0GB

   Memory:

   - Minimum for text-mode: 64MB
   - Minimum for graphical: 128MB
   - Recommended for graphical: 192MB

   Note that the compatibility/availability of other hardware components
   (such as video and network cards) may be required for specific
   installation modes and/or post-installation usage.
