Hm...  Not bad, but I've got a few minimal systems out there myself.

1) Dialup gateway: 386SX-25, 4MB RAM, 120MB HD.  Runs Linux 2.X It's a
   wee bit slowish, but it does what I need it to do.

2) Notebook: 386SX-25, 4MB RAM, 120MB HD.  Runs Windows95. (Yes, I
   know, I should be ashamed- but I couldn't squeeze the latest
   kernels on without dinking with them)  You could _call_ it running-
   if you're **real** patient with the machine.  It was done as a
   demonstration of why Win95 is NOT faster than Win 3.11 and that it
   _WILL_ barely run (Though hideously sllloooow) in this
   configuration.
