The full thing or a lighter version?

Trisquel 6 does probably use a bit less ram so it might work a bit longer/better than some other distributions although I'd still be hesitant to state 1GB is adequate.

I believe 1GB is still adequate if your running a modern distribution with a GNOME 2 derivative desktop environment. However as soon as you move beyond that to GNOME 3, Unity, KDE 4 (at last newer versions), or something derived from them or its components, etc it becomes problematic. So... Trisquel 6 + some other desktop environment might work... fine.

We got wayyy too many support calls from people thinking there were hardware issues due to insignificant ram when we were offering a 1GB base configuration (for those actually trying to use the system with just 1GB) quite some time back (towards the end of that, obviously 4 years ago it wasn't an issue).
