Maybe Xubuntu, but with that amount of RAM you might not be able to run but the smallest cases in term of grid size

And you'd have an even harder time postprocessing those (don't know how much memory Paraview uses when NO data is loaded, but on your machine it would be substantial amount)

Try windowmaker as the windowmanager. Use Debian minimal install or such. And I guess, you will be only able to run "Mini Mouse" cases.

RAM is relatively cheap.
Can't you buy some more? Martin |

There is damn small linux, but as Martin said, you can get a 1GB of RAM nowadays for around £15.
