[wplug] Low system requirements distro

[Rick Harris]

Hi Scott,

I have Mandrake 8.1 running on a Pentium 100 with 16
Mb RAM.  The machine can't boot off the CD, but I
could create a boot floppy off the install CD and it
took it from there.  No X, but it makes a great file
server.  It doesn't take much brains to be a file
server, at least if you're running an efficient OS :-)
 

Oh, and it's been up for several months. 

- Rick
