I thought I would add my $1.00 worth (inflation ya'know 8) ).  I have the 
release notes for BSDI 1.1 (released in February) handy, and on page 8, they
state RAM requirements of "4MB to 256MB; 8MB minimum for X".  IMHO it is 
really turning out to be a nice OS for an old BSD kernel person like myself.
Now all I am really waiting (re: drooling) for is for it to be moved over
to BSD4.4 now that the suit is settled. 8)  Just MHO.
