I'd say 1GB is a pretty solid

I'd say 1GB is a pretty solid amount for your needs. You'll be able to get the most out of it if you run a minimal install of some Linux distribution.

You could also approach the problem this way: If you're going to build the system, look towards being selective of the type of RAM your motherboard will support. I've noticed that DDR3 RAM is substantially cheaper than DDR2 RAM (when new), and that trait applies to the motherboards as well. So keep that in mind when you're shopping around for parts.
