Either way... with Linux you can use Xen or one of the other virtual machine technologies which I believe use very little ram. I think just the kernel runs in a separate space or something... never really played with it.
With windows, you can't even run windows on 256mb of ram. I accidentally did the other day (somehow went into OS install mode after I added more ram). After I rebooted, it started checking all my drives for errors (and I'm running NTFS, so it wouldn't do that unless something was REALLY wrong. And this is just XP. I can only imagine win2k3 running on 256mb ram (anything other then a bare install is probably impossible).
