I first installed Linux on a 386SX (16MHz IIRC) system with a pair of
20MB hard drives and 2MB RAM... it took a little while. :)  I think we
ended up just using one drive for the root filesystem and the other for
swap!  This was probably 1992 or 1993, can't remember.

Today I installed Linux on a system wtih 48 CPU cores...
