Debian-based OS with low memory consumption?

Question

linux

I choose an OS for the virtual machine, the latest Ubuntu requires a lot of memory.
The computer only has 2gb of RAM.

Answer 1

Install a minimal Debian (no GUI or anything) and install some OpenBox.
You can keep within 100-150mb at the start. With Firefox, you can live comfortably with 2GB RAM.

Answer 2

depending on what you use for what :)
I have an ubuntu server on 512 megahs of an ancient computer that runs services for a year ...

Answer 3
