What is the specs of you Linux distribution? >From my tests:
Suse 7 would boot in 16 MB with VCTCA or IUCV connections (little swap usage at startup and no active swapping when idle. Suse 9 needed 42 MB when using OSA. Again, little swap usage at startup and no active swapping when idle. Both are with the standard, default set of applications. I agree that they can be cut down in size, by selecting only those applications you need, but I was under the impression that OSA needed a much bigger buffer then the other connections. I forgot what size that was..

Linux, with a virtual OSA, runs acceptably in 16MB. As long as you're not running much of anything else.
