Hi,

11Gb of RAM or disk? 11Gb of RAM should be plenty for Linux. 11Gb of disk should be adequate, depending on what all you load with it.

What error messages are you getting or what problem are you having? What flavor and version of Linux are you trying to run?

11 GB is enough - both regarding to RAM or Hard disk.

I have had issues installing Linux on several PC's one time it was the SCSI adapter/disks that caused a kernel panic the other time it was the bios settings. After changing to the optimal settings I was able to install find and then went back and tweaked the bios.
