Why not? I remember seeing someone document a slinky install into 8MB of 
RAM, no? Fuzzy memory.

The SS20 is likely to run Aurora Linux 1.0 (a port of RHL-7.3 for sparc) 
quite well. I run it on several SS5's and a U1, and it is rock-steady (250 
days uptime on my one server box). Besides, an install takes less than 30 
minutes which is somewhat quicker. <smile>

Just a thought.
