In the dawn of the end of IBM's OS/2 Stardock's CEO Brad Wardell pays his respects to the venerable operating system by writing a long article about the history of the OS. Stardock was one of the major third party software houses for OS/2 back in the day and so Brad has lived OS/2 from up close.

A full-fledged OS/2 Warp 4.0 installation with VDM, WinOS2, networking, and multimedia support takes roughly 300MB of space on the boot partition and requires roughly 16MB of RAM to function adequately (though more RAM is always better).
It can also be installed in a logical drive in your extended partition (OS/2 doesn't have to boot from a primary), although IBM's Boot Manager needs to be temporarily installed in a primary for that to work (it can be removed later if your current boot manager supports OS/2 properly, i.e. System Commander).
