Yes, it should be fine.  The packages that usually need the largest swap
and/or physical RAM are glibc, gcc, and ace.

Oh, and the admin contact for faure is debian-admin@brainfood.com.  I
doubt you'll get any immediate responce from them, though, given the

have a more capable setup compared to faure.
