I believe minimum ram is 24Mb but if you can get more... .  I'm sure I 
used to run 4.X off < 4Gb of disk and would suspect 6.X would fit too, 
with care.  Of course, you have to be very careful what you actually do 
with a machine this low spec'ed.  Certainly no room to compile firefox 
or openoffice :-)
