I have two of the early ones. I have used them as Mumble (Voice Chat) servers, i2p and tor gateways, backup desktops and
multimedia players. You can survive with less than 1GB if you are careful. The real RAM killer of these days is modern web
browsers. The Web sucks. Depending on your use case you can go with lightweight browsers that only support the most basic sites
or use regular browsers with many functions disabled...

There is a Tiny Core Linux port for Raspberry that is probably great, but I have yet to try it. It should be good because it
reduces the read/writes to the SD card and is realy a compact operating system. I have been playing with Tiny Core Linux for
old wintel computers and response is very good. It has its own problems though.
