My (fairly minimal) system makes about 500M. Half > of it is Firefox. One third of the rest is Emacs (with a fairly fat > file loaded, mind you). But still X and PostfreSQL and... I can point to several VMs that are running useful things on buster in just over 256MB of RAM -- 384 would provide a fair amount of headroom. nginx and mail and DNS and NTP and so forth, all at once. I note that EBay has lots of used 256 and 512MB DDR RAM available for nearly nothing -- $5 to $10, the shipping will be about the same -- and so making this a usable system is probably within reach. -dsr-
