Course specifications
Course number: 079 934
Software version number: (see hardware/software requirements)
Course length: 3 days
Hardware/software required to run this course
Software Requirements:
Most features discussed in the courseware are available for multiple distribution of Linux. Here are some suggestions for Linux distributions.
Caldera OpenLinux 2.2, 2.3 or higher

Hardware Requirements:
One of the strengths of Linux is its ability to run efficiently on minimal hardware. It is possible to create a fully-functional server or workstation on a system such as a 386 25MHz/4MB RAM/80MB hard drive, but the ability of a student to explore and use all of the features available would be limited. For that reason, two specifications are listed here, a minimum set of hardware specifications, and a recommended specifications for installing Linux, running the X Window System, and performing the most common learning tasks.
Minimum Hardware:
CPU: Pentium P133 or similar
RAM: 16 MB
HD: 1.5GB free space for a complete Linux installation (any of the above distributions)
CDROM: 4x or faster
Video Card compatible with the X Window System (the SVGA X Server will work for most cards)
Network Card compatible with Linux
Internet connection (optional)
Keyboard and pointing device
Recommended Hardware:
CPU: Pentium PII 300, Celeron 300, AMD K6-2 300 or similar
