Hog.
I ran an Internet server for some years running RHL 4.2 and a 2.0 kernel 
in 8 Mbytes.

Until its disk died, I was running a perfectly credible server for a 
small LAN on a Pentium III with 128, maybe 192 Mbytes of RAM. The only 
time it was short of RAM was when running rsync to back it up, when it 
used an enormous amount of swap.

It was running Debian/Sarge.
