Minimal debian on VM eats something like 20-40 MB of RAM. Not 6 MB, but still rounding error by today's standards.

I guess that with careful selection of GUI components one can fit empty desktop to 60 MB.

Until you start browser anyway.

I guess nowadays it is a choice, back then it was all we had! :D

But good to know that we can still 'Hyper-mile' our OS.
