Hi GRASS users:

I want to know which is the smallest hardware configuration that
a full GRASS is installed.

Which LINUX distribution is better to support GRASS on a small
and old hardware configuration for example a 486 procesor with 64 MB?

Thank you for your help.

From source code: pretty much anything will work, see REQUIREMENTS.html

  to make sure all needed packages are installed.

From 6.0 binaries: SuSE 9.1 and DebianGIS are already packaged.

I can give instructions on how to compile on Fedora if needed, as long
as you have the recipe it isn't too hard. I expect there will be new 6.0
Fedora binaries before too long ....
