We did a less than full install of Suse, but did include the web
servers, utilities, dev tools and GUI. Install FB RPM using YAST via
GUI. I have not yet tried to install FB on a minimally configured
console only server. I dont worry about resources as I have dual
3.2GHZ Zeon and 4GB of RAM and 146 GB of RAID1 disk.

Hope it helps.....
