Question #76858 on Ubuntu changed:
https://answers.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+question/76858

    Status: Open => Answered

Tom proposed the following answer:
Firefox with lots of tabs should use less ram than having lots of
firefox windows open.  I think OpenOffice can ahve different documents
on different tabs too, if so that would cut down on ram usage a fair bit
but point taken - you really need more ram.  I would guess you've tried
Ubuntu with these things open and know what you need better than i do :)

Karmic is available to be used now but it is only an alpha release so it
will be quite buggy (probably).  I thought that you could just add or
remove kernel modules without waiting for them to appear in the repos
but i haven't tried and all this is completely beyond me.  I thought the
pae kernel had been used by quite a few people but i'm struggling to
remember where i've actually really heard from any of them, no links and
no experience makes me doubt it.  Shane is more likely to know, given
the givens.

Server edition of Ubuntu doesn't have a gui desktop, although obviously
you could just install one on the top :)

Good luck with all this
Regards from
Tom :)
