I have Puppy on a box with only 128MB of Ram and it is 100%. I also have it on two old laptops. I do feel tho that you will have problems as your computer know how appears very limited. Your email and browser applications will change and need a wee bit of setting up for starters. |

This method installs Linux inside Windows and i gather you have limited RAM. You will need RAM for Windows to run and RAM for Linux too! |

It is not a virtual machine of any kind, it is a dual-boot and cannot run both Windows and Linux at once. It just makes it easier to install Linux as you don't have to boot from the CD etc. Makes it very easy to install if you know nothing about Linux. |
