Dear Professor Mao:
You can not do very much with 16M Ram. You can not even run
StarOffice or Oracle server on those machines. However,
you can still use them as X-terminals. Run X with twm (or mwm)
as window manager, then connect to one really big Unix box
where you do your actual work. The 16MB boxes can then be used
as X-server terminals. This means you need to raise some more
money of a Unix/Linux server.
