Just think, to get a UN*X platform with a nice windowed interface (X11) 
running at any reasonable performance level, 8 Megabytes is the 
suggested minimum (as someone who has run X11R3 on a system with 8 MB, 
I feel even this may be somewhat light)...and think what you'd pay for
just the operating system license, the hard disk space, and so forth.
