Hi all,
I have a linux machine acting as a ipmasq gateway for a modem dialup and was
running it on a P-150 with 64MB RAM and a 2GB HDD. I did a complete redhat
install and still have oodles of space left and when its up and running the
CPU runs at less than 10% and there is heaps of memory left too (well until
I get squid running). The only time I notice that it is slow is when I am
recompiling the kernel and how often do you need to do this?? I know a guy
whose running a linux box on a 486DX4-100 with 32mb ram and a 2gb hdd and
its acting as a router for three sub-nets and he hasn't had any problems!!!
It all depends on what you want to do with the machine as to what specs you
need.

I currently have an Athlon 900 which I have been dualbooting win98se,
winNT4,
and Linux 6.1. I also have an AMD K6-2/400 machine that I dual boot win98se
and
Linux on, and I can't notice a difference between the two. Both my machines
have
512 megs of RAM and 30 gig, 7200 rpm harddrives. Linux runs outstanding on
both!
