Linux/Alpha is known to run on machines with as little as 8MB of RAM and a 170MB harddisk. In those 8MB of RAM, you can run Emacs-19.28 without swapping, but that's about it. A system with 16MB RAM and 500MB is perfectly reasonable to work with, even when using X11. 32MB RAM and on the order of 1GB of disk should satisfy even power-hungry users, though, as usually is the case: the more the better.
