If you can run DOS or Windows on your computer, you can probably install and run OpenLinux. The general requirements for installing OpenLinux are the following:
- 386 or better equivalent CPU
- 16 megabytes of random-access memory (RAM)-although Linux can work with megabytes (32 is the recommended minimum when using StarOffice)
- 1.44MB 3.5-inch floppy drive
- CD-ROM drive
