in Fedora
Since Fedora 10 it requires something more than the 390MB that my machine is maxed out with, and the still-used boilerplate Release Notes lie:
2.4.2.1.1. Processor and memory
Minimum RAM for graphical: 192MiB
Recommended RAM for graphical: 256MiB

I just put Fedora 13 on an old P4 machine with 500mb memory. I installed the Gnome version. I must say by looking at the memory usage in gkrellm I'm close to maxed out on memory usage. While I still haven't seen it resort to swap memory, I would think that to have a normal running Fedora, 500mb would be minimum.0

When you are installing with the GUI installer from the DVD, then you can select advanced package management and deselect the gnome and kde. This will require even less resources, but will only have command-line. Can install a GUI latter, after you do extensive research and you can customize the installation to use less resources than a standard install of a GUI.0

Basically, like all other Linux distros, it depends on how much you put into it. If your a command line nut like me, then you can get it under 512mb of ram easily. You just have to not install any gui and go through your init.d and disable anything you don't need. Be careful in there - you can really kill a machine if you don't research what your doing.
Command line FTW!

note: With Under 512mb it can take forever to just install, cut out any unneeded programs at install. If you need them later - you can always install them then. Also, it will take a while to install anyway, so be prepared to have this system up for an entire night if needed.0 -
512 MB is good for gnome,somehow ok for KDE. Try to stop background jobs[openoffice starter, etc ]. Disable desktop effects .. you can run the fedora smoothly..0
