I have a Cyrix 6x86 200 machine that runs Linux and serves as my firewall/gateway/router, etc. for my home network. It's presently working on distributed.net's OGR, but the last checkin I did, the proxy indicated that it had no more OGR work to do. I don't want to put it on RC5, and it would suck miserably at doing LL's. I could put it on factoring but I want to make sure that the memory requirements would be small. The box has only 16 meg of memory, which suits its "real" work just fine, and I don't want to put on anything else that would cause lots of swapping. The GIMPS FAQ says that the machine uses about 8 meg of memory (which would be too much), but I don't know if that applies to the Linux version, or to doing only factoring. Any clues?
