I have run linux on a 386sx-16 with 8 megs of ram, I wouldnt call that
speed acceptable.
I tried linux (slackware 2.3, late 1.1.x kernels) on a 486sx-25 with 2
megs a couple of years ago. After 10 minutes and it only had gotten 5-6
daemons up and running and was swapping itself to death I turned the poor
thing off.
I'm glad that other guy managed to get it running... I'd say that 4 megs
would be a definate minimum.
