Terra Soft has this to say about hard drive space:

<http://www.yellowdoglinux.com/products/faq/drive_space.shtml>

QUESTION: How much space is required for an installation?

  Personal Desktop: 1,901MB
  Workstation: 2,258MB
  Server: 855MB
  Everything (all packages): 5,031MB

The "Server" installation sounds like what you want -- therefore, your 
only limitation would be the sizes of your databases.

Terra Soft has less to say about RAM requirements, but that will be 
more application specific. I think most folks might say that 64-128 MB 
is the minimum for personal use of Linux. Therefore, unless you are 
wrangling some really huge datasets, 384 MB should be plenty.

Best wishes,
Clint
