Kernel is 2.6.12 (very light - 1.2MB uncompressed), userspace is based on Slackware 9.0 (init scripts modified), print server is CUPS. It boots in about a minute. It ran with 4MB too but the boot time was around 15 minutes :-) (with original init scripts). root@printserver:~# uname -a Linux printserver 2.6.12-printserver #6 Fri Jul 1 23:40:17 CEST 2005 i386 unknown root@printserver:~# cat /proc/cpuinfo processor : 0 vendor_id : unknown cpu family : 3 model : 0 model name : 386 stepping : unknown fdiv_bug : no hlt_bug : no f00f_bug : no coma_bug : no fpu : no fpu_exception : no cpuid level : -1 wp : no flags : bogomips : 4.28 root@printserver:~# free total used free shared buffers cached Mem: 6752 6196 556 0 528 3980 -/+ buffers/cache: 1688 5064 Swap: 32000 0 32000 -- Ondrej Zary
