Really?.  The article claims that WinXP will run in 64M.  Last year, Linux 
(I forget which distro; MDK, I think) would not even install on 32M, but it 
did with 64M.  So minimum RAM is the same.  Now of course, somebody is 
bound to point out there are plenty of distros that will install/run on 
systems with less than 64M; but I'm not so sure that's true of mainstream 
distros with window manager installed.

This was, of course, my point.
