I'm not sure, but most of the time when I work it's around 248MiB/0.98GiB.

Yes, I have SWAP. It shows 0B/1.98GiB.
and what is a live environment? Do you mean working on a live CD/USB? (If yes, then I'll try it out)

I was looking for an OS to support my old desktop in our drawing room to do simple admin work. Ubuntu was flashy but, crashed many times. Then I decided that I needed an OS which did the following things without fuss:
1)word/spreadsheet etc. 2)stable browsing 3) simple media player to play videos  4)truly light weight distro which shows some mercy on RAM and is quick. 5) And an OS which doesnt crash 10 times in 10 daysssssss.
I read review of many distros... tried a few.... finally installed crunchbang. Its really simple, neat and works really well.
