Before I went on to bigger and better things, I ran Linux on an ancient
386SX-16 (fortunately with FPU) with something like a 40mb HD and 4 meg
of RAM.  We couldn't add any more RAM because the @#*! thing had to have
its CMOS cleared every time you tried to fiddle with it.  Oh, 2400
modem, too, so the rest didn't seem so bad.

And wow; I even ran X on it.  16 colors, mind, because my video card
went on the fritz if you tried to push it into 256.

Now, at the time I didn't use emacs and a bunch of other junk, but it
was still very hairy.  To think, for some reason I could stand taking
all night to recompile a kernel...

Do I win? ;-)
