@governa Reverse conclusion: you can install any Linux system on any computer? I (layman) would have thought that is not possible.(Translated by a machine from German)
@Ulrich@governa pretty much, yeah. You can run Linux on more architectures and hardware configurations than you can think of, the catch being that you won’t magically get a pretty GUI on a system with a graphics card capable of only text display and the like.
@governa I don't see why you would compare a kernel to an OS.
The kernel, Linux actually does have a minimal RAM requirement of at least 1 MiB to boot up, but you'll just get a panic() during boot and a not actually usable computer as a result.
I've noticed that GNU/Linux manages to work on CPU is out of order execution, with a framebuffer, 88MB of RAM and some swap, but the minimum amount I would really recommend would be 512MB of RAM - good luck getting computers with less than 4GB RAM nowadays even so.
