It has to be 32-bit or better, so 286 or worse won't work. (This is for

but once it's installed, you can take out the extra 2-4mb, and run it just
on 4mb.

I'd guess either a 386SX/16 or an old m68k box. Probably the 386 is the
better option - many old m68k machines are too underspeced t

Unfortunately, you cannot run Debian on a block of cheese. Work on a
cheese port is in progress, but is not even ready yet for the alpha
release. Until then, you must run Deb

Oh boy, you have hit a nerve. You will get quite a lot of resp
Text-based.
The extra features are multiple -- the package management is by far the best
