There is a trend in thinking a low space consumption distro to be good only for older machines. Personally, nowadays - regardless of the machine - I would hesitate to ever again go anything systemwise burdensome, like, a gigabyte of RAM usage just for basic operations, having the palette of options the GNU/Linux world provides. There is no excuse for running heavy operating systems. In fact, operating systems should vanish or turn minimum entirely, but that, is a separate issue.
