Hardware requirements for LINUX and WINDOWS

For more information about LINUX and WINDOWS Hardware requirements-general Linux technology-Linux technology and applications, see the following. As we all know, LINUX and WINDWOS have lower hardware requirements than LINUX and WINDWOS. Recently I found a sony piii notebook, but I encountered an embarrassing situation. Laptops are brought by friends from Japan. PIII 1G memory 128, and graphics cards are integrated. Kang Bao Optical Drive. The pre-installed XP tag is attached to the notebook, and the hard disk is 40. So I am so happy that I can use him to play LINUX this time. However, the painful experience of the next half a month has caused me to experience it. It is not a small embarrassment. First, install the XP test and run the test. Therefore, it is okay to install 2003. Internet access, OFFICE, QQ, all OK. It's not too difficult to use 2008 for QQ, so it's also smooth to play movies.
Next, I decided on what system to install. I chose UB9.10. I took out my UB9.10 CD and waited for a long time. After the installation failed, I could not move, so I switched to Little Red Hat 9.0, it's three CDs. This time we can install it. It went very well and took a long time. It took up to five hours to install it. After several days, I felt uncomfortable. Let's change the system. I just bought a CQ notebook and sent a REDFALG 6 System for my colleagues. The installation and check showed that the memory was not enough. Next, I won the bid for puhua and the installation was unsuccessful. FORADR11, failed. However, it's okay to install XP, Windows 2000, Windows. You can't tell me the problem. Please kindly advise me.
