My experience suggests 13.5-14MB.

Beyond the limit actually.  Based on my general experiences with
`large' processes on a 20MB system, I'd say 20MB would be the bare
minimum - probably 24MB if you don't have the skills to rebuild the
kernel and tweak the running daemons to minimise the system memory
footprint.  It's essential that you have enough RAM to prevent
setiathome paging.

I'd add another 16MB at least if you planned to use X.  Running
setiathome has a noticable impact on my 64MB system when combined with
X and Netscape.  Note that X is unnecessary for a dedicated system.
