512Mb should be adequate - it really depends on what you're going to be doing with the system.... I run SUSE 8.2 Pro on my laptop with only 256Mb RAM, and it does me well for day-to-day stuff (programming, remote admin, web development) - the RAM is always almost completely in use, and swap activity is very minimal. If you're going to be doing anything really intensive (video editing and the like), and you've got the $/� to do it, then a gig of RAM is never going to be a bad thing.

We've had big problems with IDE RAID at work (this is on a Windows 2003 Terminal Server however) - some of the new HP Proliants come with a two disk mirror - and the RAID tools provided by HP are useless, you end up having to bring the entire server down, going into the RAID setup and rebuild whilst the servers offline - defeats the purpose totally - it'd be just as easy to fit a new disk and restore from a backup - it'd be twice as fast too.... I've played around with software RAID under SUSE before, and I've got a little article on my site here although this will most probably be irrelevant for your purposes as the RAID board should take care of RAID management and control anyway.....
