GUI installation. Text mode should still be possible (probably even with less RAM).
Text mode too. I hardly ever run a GUI-mode installation (and certainly not on 1Gb only), but YaST has gotten stuck once or twice (on 1Gb machines) when I haven't had any swap activated. It's not very often that I do it though. I think I may have written a bugreport too.
Once installed, a no-GUI system will run in less than 512Mb.
Depends on what will be running, of course.
Good point :-) Just for comparison, I have a number of small ARM boards, 512Mb RAM - they run the usual basic stuff plus syslog, postfix and thttpd. On the one right here, it looks like 400Mb RAM (I'll have to check what happened to the rest), with about 90Mb free. -- Per Jessen, Zürich (3.0°C)
