Hi guys, Whether it will work or not is also dependent on what your objectives are. I don't keep track of what is out there that still uses under 1Gb of RAM. I know some distributions don't fit with half of that available. It will not work for anything that requires a fast CPU (SDR would be a good example). If all your going to do is logging or controlling a rig then it would probably be fine. It would however be a bit limited and I would think work with only a few (if any) current distributions.
