Re: Memory question.

["David R. McGown" <dmcgown megacats com>]

For a short time, I ran a Multia with 16 MB that served as a firewall/gateway 
machine at home, running DNS, Sendmail and POP, all non-essential services 
disabled.   It was right on the edge, would swap at a login session, but 
otherwise seemed to run okay.  I wouldn't recommend compiling anything on it, 
however.

For the record, the machine originally had 128 MB, which was removed to install 
in an Alphastation 200 and replaced with 16 MB.  Redhat was installed prior to 
the memory swap, so I cannot vouch for a successful installation with only 16 
MB in the machine.
