I would have installed Fedora, but they say the requirements are at least 4GB RAM.
2GB should be possible...
From the official Fedora 20 release notes <http://docs.fedoraproject.org/en-US/Fedora/20/html/Release_Notes/sect-
Release_Notes-Welcome_to_Fedora_.html#hardware_overview>:
Minimum System Configuration
1GHz or faster processor 1GB System Memory 10GB unallocated drive space
Yes it will install and work. With a web browser it's a bit tight, and may end up swapping to disk. Neverthless, impressive, right now for me on OS X the kernel is taking up 700MB alone; and "wired" memory is 1.34GB. So yeah… oinkster.
I have Fedora 20 running on a laptop with 1.5gb of RAM. Gnome desktop is slow, but usable.
I also have it running on an eee 900 mini-laptop, also with 1.5gb or RAM using the XFCE desktop. It's slow, and just bearable.
Running KDE on my EEE with 2GB. Certainly slow but usable in a pinch.
