Let me answer your question slightly differently than how you asked it.
Hardware requirements don't depend as much on the Linux distro as much as the following
- The applications you intend to run (eg small games, intensive realtime games, office apps, media viewing, media compiling, simple surfing the Internet)
- The GUI desktop (Typically KDE or Gnome, some minimal or a custom version)
If you're talking about the
Ubuntu is very high. There is extreme bloat to ensure the least amount of problems... Everything "just works."
OpenSuSE is fairly high primarily because of its default KDE desktop GUI which has gotten very big. But, OpenSuSE can deliver a good solution for the small business.
Red Hat/Fedora/CentOS all share a number of similarities and codebase. Gnome desktop is default. Fair hardware requirements.
If hardware is your prime concern, you might consider something like Damn Small Linux
