Fedora on 64MB RAM

[Ansar Mohammed]

Actually,
i was using asterisknow and i wanted to switch the platform. So i tried to
install FC6 but the installer complainst that 64MB of RAM is too little and
then exits..

I am trying debian right now, it seems a bit better but the package
management takes a bit of getting used to..
