Running X and compiling just starts to eat into my swap-space, and I've got 16M RAM. Not really the right group for this, but things are MUCH faster when you upgrade your RAM. Even just starting X with 8MB it thrashes far too much. I image we can get a command-line only Linux up and running (is X support even considered?), with minimal daemons running. Even just running bourne shell eats over 300K of memory on my machine! Also, doesn't the way Sam pages it's memory make things more difficult compared to other platforms?
