The mininum is 640K (really 1Mb..) However, running in that amount
is truely painful. Most programs won't run because of lack of space...
Average for most folks seem to be 2-6Mb. Running 1-2 users with no
extreme (you define) applications works fine in 2Mb. Max is 16Mb. Most
boxes don't support more than 12-15 anyway. These numbers *DO NOT* apply
to SCO UNIX...
