Comment:
FWIW, with enough (and fast :) ) swap space, Sage 5.x (still) builds on
32-bit machines with 512 MB RAM (and Gnome or some other GUI running).
[[BR]]
Another issue is that meanwhile a few [long] doctests are really poor, in
eating up nearly 2x 2 GB (Sage + `gp`). Others just allocate that much,
without actually using it (such that they'll fail with `ulimit -v` for no
real reason).
768 MB (including a GUI) used to be sufficient to (build Sage and) run all
long doctests without any swapping a while ago.
