2.7 worked pretty well on 16M RAM, iirc. By 3.4, I'm pretty sure you
were swapping before you completed a login.
As a labor of love, you could strip a lot of stuff out of the kernel and
see if you could make something that worked, but it really isn't worth it.
Stripping the kernel helps quite a bit.
Granted, I have 32MB of ram on my little OmniBook, but I can almost tare
to run X11+xterm after I slimmed down the kernel to about half of its size.
