These days you need the WRT54GL (note the L for Linux) version that has
4MB flash and 16MB RAM or the Speedboster version with 8/32MB. I don't
think OpenWRT can run on less. But it is a very capable little box, as
is the Slug (NSLU2).
Windows folks will be surprised to learn that you DON'T need 1+ GB RAM,
1.8GHz CPU's and massive hard drives to run a modern OS (the just
announced Windows Home Server is a joke, you can have the same
capability today on a Linksys Slug running UnSlung Linux).
Check out Ovidiu's talk at TAUG tomorrow (Wednesday) on embedded
devices, I'd love to go but I have other commitments.

Yes. RAM is the major concern here as WRT54G comes with ram from 4MB to

I doubt I'd bother with the 4M wrt's seems almost pointless for doing
anything beyond a simple router.
