(for comparison) * http://download.tuxfamily.org/antix/docs-antiX-19/FAQ/index.html#_system_requirements " antiX should run on most computers, ranging from 192MB old PII systems with pre-configured 128MB swap to the latest powerful boxes. antiX-core and antiX-net will run with 128MB RAM plus swap, but don’t expect miracles! 192MB RAM is the recommended minimum for antiX. 256MB RAM and above is preferred especially for antiX-full. antiX-full needs a 5GB minimum hard disk size. antiX-base needs 3GB and antiX-core needs 1GB. antiX-net needs 0.7GB.
