finding yourself looking at a 32-bit processor with 29-bit physical addresses and going "huh. 512MB of physical memory doesn't seem like much."
contextalising
- it's... only 8x less than the absolute physical maximum you could use
- we ran entire operating systems in smaller
- it's 21x more than what windows 98 required
- hell, it's 4x more than what windows xp required
i think you'll be fine with little a linux kernel
