I'm lookiing to install redhat 6 on one of my systems at home. Would a pentium 120 system with 16mb ram have enough power for typical programs? I'd like to run some simple connectivity progys such as netscape, irc, telnet, ftp, and possibly some C++.
Thanks!

Yep, that should be sufficent; however, you might want to think about 16 more mb of RAM. BTW, make sure your modem isn't the dreaded 'winmodem' type, as Linux will now work with it.
Here's a link to a modem database:
