depends on what you want, i have linux on a 4 meg 486sx, but about all it can do is text editing and web surfing in lynx. the key is you can choose what you load, and what you don't so you can build a 4 meg box or a 400 meg box, clearly though if you want to watch dvds while running a game server and doing setiathome units the 4 meg box ain't gonna cut it.... :-)
