Depends on how patient you are. You should be able to get an install onto a 486 w/ 8 megs of RAM and ~ 200 megs of hard disk. Personaly, I'm running on a Celeron 500 w/ 256 megs of RAM and it runs great, takes a while to compile things like KDE but once they're up and running it's quite snappy.

It's a test of your patience when a P100 with 48Mb DRAM(not even EDO) is trying to work it's way through all the compiling. But after that it left me with a great firewall with nothing installed on it that isn't needed in some way. On the other hand. A 2.5yo PIII-450 with 384Mb bootstraps rather quickly(less than one night at least :twisted: ).
Anything more recent than that will do fine I guess.

I've done it on a laptop @ 133 MHz with 48 MB RAM and a *very* slow harddrive. You probably don't want to dip below 40 MB of RAM, that is pushing it. Kind of hard to use the RAM to bootstrap while running on a RAM disk that consist of most of your physical RAM.
