Yes. With that spec, showcase Windows of some description on one of
the machines. Then you can say, "See? You can't run Windows on it
/either/".

Seriously, RedHat is probably a bad choice if you're going for a
minimal install, because they've a tendency to package every bell and
whistle available resulting in overly large packages and too many of
same to satisfy all the dependancies. Having said that, I don't know
what to recommend instead, because RedHat is where the bulk of my
experience lies.

Cheers,
Waider.
