Recommended Minimum System Requirements
The Recommended Minimum System Requirements, here, should allow even 
someone fairly new to installing Ubuntu or Gnu&Linux to easily install a 
usable system with enough room to be comfortable. A good "rule of thumb" 
is that machines that could run XP, Vista, Windows 7 or x86 OS X will 
almost always be a lot faster with Ubuntu even if they are lower-spec 
than described below. Simply try Ubuntu CD as a LiveCD first to check 
the hardware works.

Ubuntu Desktop Edition
2 GHz dual core processor
4 GiB RAM (system memory)
25 GB (8.6 GB for minimal) of hard-drive space (or USB stick, memory 
card or external drive but see LiveCD for an alternative approach)
VGA capable of 1024x768 screen resolution
Either a CD/DVD drive or a USB port for the installer media
Internet access is helpful

So, 4GB appears to be the minimum recommended RAM for running Ubuntu Linux.

However, further down that web page, is reference to versions with 
lesser system requirements; Xubuntu and Lubuntu.

Minimum system requirements
To install and use Xubuntu, you need an Intel or AMD 64-bit processor 
with at least 1 GB of memory. You may need more if you have integrated 
graphics.

You can try Xubuntu running from a USB or DVD before installing. Keep in 
mind that running the system this way will be slower than an installed 
system.

When you install Xubuntu, you need at minimum 8.6 GB of free space on 
your hard disk.

Recommended system resources
To get a smooth experience when running multiple applications parallel 
on the desktop, it is recommended to have a 1.5Ghz Dual Core processor 
with at least 2 GB of memory.

It is recommended to have at least 20 GB of free space on your hard 
disk. This allows new application installations as well as saving your 
personal data on the hard disk in addition to the core system.

conspicuously, unable to be found (by me), is a statement of minimum 
system requirements.

 From the above, if you want to run Ubuntu Linux on a system with 2GB 
RAM, Xubuntu seems to be the only way of doing it (I do not run Xubuntu, 
so, apart from the published information that I have cited, I cannot 
give any opinion based on experience).
