I don't actually have this distribution up and running on any machines but it seemed like a good, heavy-duty OS that could be deployed flexibly. I would specifically like to know what hardware any users here have this distribution running on and what its reputation is...

[quote=Syd]CentOS works on varied hardware with not much of issues or hassles. I've installed CentOS 4 on Celeron 633 with 810 M/B, 256 MB RAM and IDE disks as well as Toshiba Laptop M-70. Other hardware configurations include IBM x3650, Desktops with 2GHz processor. Sorry I don't recollect the exact configurations of all the hardwares on which I've installed. The issue faced sometimes has been GUI interface resolution which just needs a bit of tweaking. Not used Wireless LAN interface so not too sure about it. But the installations has normally been problem-free and the OS stable [/quote] The distribution does not sound like it makes big demands on hardware. I downloaded the x386 version of CentOS 4.6 (4 ISOs). I would imagine an 800 to 900 MHz machine with 256 MB RAM should cut it, wouldn't you think???
