I had (and still have) a 386sx/16 with 2MB of RAM.
Using 1.0.9 lite it was quite acceptable for things like minicom and such, but g++ sucked bad ;-) The memory was on the low side; when it booted didn't use the swap - until someone logged in....
Problem was, to use 1.0.9 lite I had to compile it - using the 1.2.13 that I had! With no daemons whatsoever running, it took 52 hours and 10 minutes, swapping all the way.
4 megs would've been heaven :-) -- #include <std_disclaim.h> Lorens Kockum
