I would suppose you could run it in an even smaller machine if you
had the patience. (After all you CAN run <gasp> Windows XP on a 100MHz
machine with 32 megs of ram if you are REALLY REALLY patient.)

The above machine might benefit from additional ram if he intends to
do mail filtering on the machine. Tools like SpamAssassin eat ram for
lunch and leave very little for dinner.
