At the last installfest we decided on a minimum spec machine that we would install on.
IIRC we said we could install IPcop on older spec machines but I certainly don't think we should be attempting installs on 486s or even Pentium 75 with 32M.
I'm thinking approx 200MHz pentiums with 128MB RAM (maybe 64MB?) and 6(?)GB hard drive and must have CDROM. Even that spec of machine with modern Xwindows stuff would be struggling.
(now wait for the cries of "but I'm...")

Seems to me that mepis would be a ggod option for a debian install.
Does that cope well with "crap" PCs with 32MB or less of RAM and 1GB of disk? I'm getting a lot of those thrown at me so I'm doing Debian Woody floppy boot installs at the moment.
