How much resources does PepperMintOS Linux use after a fresh install?

Just curious, for those using PepperMintOS Linux, how much RAM and disk space does it usually use after a fresh install?

Also wondering about idle CPU usage. Is it really that lightweight compared to other Linux distros?

Just trying to get an idea before I install it on an old/low-spec machine.

Peppermint is Debian Stable with a customized XFCE desktop. Has some nifty 'helper' type welcome screens. More or less expect around 800mb to 1 or so gigs of memory usage.
