Introduction
Remember that there is no such thing as a computer that is "too fast" for DSL. Below you'll find suggested minimum requirements, and also a few installation guides for specific hardware (add yours when you're up and running!).
Many users run with modern, high-end rigs with accelerated graphics and over a GB of ram. DSL is able to fully take advantage of more powerful systems to give users a faster computing experience.
You might browse the Successful Installation Notes to see if someone else has shared their experience installing to your hardware.
