What hardware is needed/recommended to run the projected GNU OS?

More concretely, I have...

A 386, 4 Meg ram, 100 Meg hard drive, super VGA colour, the usual etc.'s.

I suspect that I'm very low on disk space for GNU.  How much should I
plan on buying?  How about ram?

Thanks for any information,
