Nope. You really want nearly a gig of RAM to build Sage from source.

Our "debian, etc" versions of Sage are *not* deb packages. E.g., get this: http://sagemath.org/SAGEbin/linux/32bit/sage-2.11-debian32-athlon-i686-Linux.tar.gz Then do tar zxvf sage-2.11-debian32-athlon-i686-Linux.tar.gz cd into the resulting sage-2.11-debian32-athlon-i686-Linux directory and type ./sage to see if it works for you.
