For shits and giggles, I dug up an old IBM K6-2/300 Mhz motherboard I had in the shed, maxed out the ram (256MB) on the board and used a CDRom to install the latest Debian (Squeeze) I could on the SD Card/IDE Adapter.
Just so I could try to run an IRC server off of it.
Took about 3 hours to compile UnrealIRCD for it, but it worked.
From what i could see of the resource usage, it should have been fine with 128MB Ram.
The biggest issue I encountered was finding a distro old enough for a CPU without CMOV instructions that still had backported packages that were required to build the IRCD.
