386SX-16 with a 1.44M FDD, no harddisk and 1M RAM (if you don't use a
compressed kernel, apparently).

It really does depend on the sorts of apps you're planning on using.
What do you want the Linux box to do? A server-only box will usually need
quite a bit less than a box intended for X11 office programs.

Try http://www.lsl.com.au/ if you want to pick up a CDROM distribution or
ftp://ftp.linux.org.au/ if you want to download CDROM images.
