Oldest box I have is a 80486DX2 @66MHz w/ 16M RAM. It has two 10Mbit NICs and a 250MB disk (rather small, so I gave it one wd0a for / and a bit of swap). I used it for testing purposes and as serial console. I've not booted it for quite some time now, it'll just work when I turn it on. However, people run OpenBSD/VAX. These machines are usually quite a bit older. Why not just give it a try. On i386-based hardware, if you have an FPU (486DX and up or 386/486 w/ the accompanying 387/487), enough RAM (16MB should be doable, lots of work required for smaller machines) and enough diskspace (250M is possible but not comfortable), you should be fine. Just give it a shot and see how far you get.
