I hate to butt in here, but are you freaking kidding me?

Does Red Hat actually give requirements like that?

I've performed Debian installs on machines with 8MB RAM without a hitch.

Are other commercial distributions this hoggish (assuming that the above
requirements exist in addition to the enormous hard disk requirements of
Red Hat)?
