I put a "stock" install of Debian Wheezy (32-bit) LXDE desktop on a
circa 2008 or 9 Asus EeePC 900 (1.0GHz Celeron M, 1 GB DDR2 RAM, 2 Flash
Drives: the 4GB one for /; the 16GB for /home and swap). Only "problem"
was I had to manually configure the system to "Sleep" when I closed the
lid. Otherwise, everything else worked out-of-the-box. Runs great.
Still in use.
So, use the above as baseline for your purchase. Pretty minimal system.
Actually, it initially had 512MB RAM. Everything worked, but not always
"smoothly." The system hit the swap sometimes, but not frequently, and
not a lot. I upgraded it to 1GB and that evened everything out. Swap now
rarely used.
