Linux Info
I run linux on machines from a AMD K6-300 with 64Mb ram ('hitch' my
workstation) to a 386SX16 with 8Mb ram ('shorty' the router)
as well as a 486DX2/66 with 32 Mb ram (hazchem, the household server!).
Actually there's toxic, big and ctext as well but they're basically routers,
testbeds for hardware,
netbooting and other time wasting activities.

NetBSD
I run NetBSD on two HP9000/300s (happy & grumpy)
happy is a 9000/380 with 32M RAM and ~ 1G of SCSI hard disk space.
grumpy is a 9000/345? with 16M RAM and a number of sloooow HP-IB hard disks.
grumpy and happy are used as a boot servers for the Sun 3s.

Real (Non-PC) Hardware - HP 9000/300 & Sun 3
I have a 3/50 and a 3/140. Probably the most complementry thing I can say about the 3/140 is that it makes a great room-heater, it's even shaped like a convection heater!
