Literally just typed "raspbian minimum card size" in Google and Google dug up this as the top result:
"/Pi Hardware /SD Cards.
The minimum size SD card you can use for Rasbian is 2GB, but it is recommended to get a 4GB SD card or above. Card Speed. A Class 4 card, which is the minimum recommended has an average read/write speed of 4 MB/sec."
The default packages include things like webkit and libre office, so it looks to be a fully functional Linux install on a popular piece of hardware.
Now, 4GB still seems dangerously small. But if all a client wanted was office plus web, I bet someone like OP could make a workable system within that size limit without Raspbian filling the emptied space with updates.

- pletnes 9y agoI have a 30 GB OS partition on my ubuntu box. That works nicely. Obviously you won’t be doing big data analyses, but everything runs fine, and with lots of apps installed. Raspbian runs on 128 MB RAM or whatever.
- katastic 9y agoI do all my fun dev work with Linux ported onto an old Chromebook with a 27 GB eMMC (~SSD). I've got Clang, LLVM, D (DMD, LDC, AND GDC), Allegro from source, Allegro binaries. A custom compile of the Linux kernel, a custom compile of gdb with better D support. I use a 32 GB SD card for extra stuff like ebooks, but the main drive still has 3 GB of space to play around with after all that junk.
