I tested AbiWord for BL1 on:
BL 1.8.1,
486dx/33, 16MB RAM, 26MB swap.
X server: vg_16 (good old vg_16, no super x server :) )

AbiWord runs and doesn't hang.
16MB seems to be enough for writting a typical business
letters (without tables, etc.) - swap is not used.

But 486dx/33 is too slow. You can feel a pain when trying
to write sth in AbiWord on such a machine. Re-drawing
horizontal ruler takes nearly 1.5s - you can see
how consecutive numbers appears.

Of course X server vg_16 is not a speed master either.

So at least 486dx2/66 should be used, but I recoomend
486dx2/80 and another X server.

p.s. BL 1.8.1 is just BL 1.8 with corrected
ownership of /home/user
