little further up on developing stuff with Java, since Eclipse kindly asks 758Mb of RAM for ease.
[...] Anyway Tatsuhiko, in answer to your question you don't need 1GB of ram unless applications or tasks you are performing require it. Personally I have 1GB on a 64bit machine here, but half of that is currently being used to run virtual machines and it is still running fine.
Just adding my bit to endorse Wayne's view here. Linux can install and then run well on much less than 1GB RAM.

(You will have guessed that I am running Linux on old kit. Linux is splendidly adapted to run on primitive hardware.)
Best wishes, Ted.
I am a c/c++ developer, but I spec 1.5 GB RAM as the minimum for eclipse based Java development with a single OS. With Xen, or User Mode Linux and eclipse I should imagine you need more.

PS have you tried python yet? Its more OO than C++ and Delphi.
