  Well, as a counterpoint to my own complaint: My home router has 16
MB RAM and 4 MB flash; it runs DD-WRT, which is a Linux system.  It's
built using a stripped-down kernel and various small footprint,
reduced functionality packages, such as BusyBox and dropbear.  I dunno
if X.org or contemporary mainstream "Linux software" would run on such
a system, even if it had more RAM.
