Interesting data point:  Bill and Lynne Jolitz have said that a minimal 386
BSD system will run (perhaps a bit slowly, but not unreasonably) in 640 Kb!
That seems to have been one of the goals.

You can argue whether 386 BSD is "real" in the sense that you can't go out
and buy one...but it seems fair to call it "real" in a technical sense.
