  I'd like to see them run an 10baseT system, plus httpd, plus a frame
grabber which converts the image to a JPG(updates every 3 seconds), plus
CGI scripts, sendmail, etc, all in 4M.  Uses ~800K swap.

  The kernel's the slackware distribution one, btw, I havn't had a chance
to trim it down yet......
