Double check the system requirements to install the OS, if you don't have enough RAM to install/run the distro you can either download a distro that is less resource intensive or install more RAM into the machine.
Ubuntu 11.10 requires 384 MB of RAM.
Debian 6 requires 128 MB of RAM.
RAM sticks come in 32MB, 64MB, 128MB, 256MB, 512MB, 1GB, 2GB, etc... sizes.
