I suppose it depends on what you mean by minimum spec. I believe (don't
quote me) that it will runn on a 386, 16MB RAM, 1MB vid card, and a bootable
NIC.

A more realistic minimum spec would be a 486, 16MB RAM, 4MB vid card.

On a 386/16MB I would think so. Bear in mind, VNC has to sit on top of
something else and I've personally never got the DOS version working.

All this is hearsay as I'm at the start of my LTSP project not at the end.
