Hi guys.
 
I want to know the opinion of those of you that have installed Linux (Fedora and Mandrake) on many hardware configurations and can confirm or make suggestions about the below configuration I want to use.
 
I will use 2 computers with different roles, both having same configuration. What I need to know if the configurations are ok for what I am planning to use and if not please make suggestions.
(I need to stay in a very low budget)
 
These are the 2 computers :
 
---------------------------------------------------------------
FEDORA Core 3 - this will be a computer that I want to use as :
 
1) gateway - all computers in the local network (1 or 2 windoze and 1 linux) will connect to Internet using this computer as gateway.
 
2) development server - used for developing web sites in PHP. (apache web server, samba, ftp ...)
 
3) workstation - there will be ONE user ONLY using this computer for :
- browsing on the Internet
- chat with gaim
- OpenOffice application suite
(KDE will be installed)
 
---------------------------------------------------------------
Mandrake Linux Official 10.1
 
1) workstation - there will be ONE user ONLY using this computer for :
- browsing on the Internet
- chat with gaim
- OpenOffice application suite
(KDE will be installed)
