Our X "workstations" running Slackware back in the day used to have 16MB RAM. I don't remember how much disk space it had, but probably 300MB-400MB - I do remember 500MB drives were not that common yet.

I've run Linux in embedded systems with 4MB flash and 4MB RAM too.

It's harder to keep Linux slim these days without sacrificing all kinds of things we've gotten accustomed to, but yeah, it's pretty much down to how minimalist you are willing to go rather than how small it is possible to get.
