RH5 won't install in less than 6MB. If you want some 1MB 3-pin SIMMS,
I'll _give_ them to you. All you can eat. If you want 72-pin SIMMs, I
can probably sell you a several 4MB ones for $20.

The samba server will run on a 4MB system, given enough swap space, but
it won't be very impressive. In fact, I can run it on a 2MB 386sx20
laptop I have here, but you _really_ don't want to see that. (-:
