I just tried to install RH EL 6 on a virtual mashine with 256 MB. Just after the installer boots it says 'You do not have enough RAM to install ....'
Given a comment that RHEL 6 is based on FC13, I am going to try installing FC13 on one of my 256 test systems, but I suspect it will be time to send those systems off to the recyclers.... Maybe someone will take them and put DSL or some such on them.
Anything that small can almost certainly be replaced by one of many virtual machines running on more current hardware - if there is any reason to keep it around as a separate host at all. Unless you are testing some specific hardware functionality.
