duck1dong

So which system is best for ease of compiling and yet doesnt require tons of RAM and is relatively small?

Which Linux system is best for use with the Riptide Intl combo card on a HP 4455 computer?

Any system can be used for compiling. If you want one that doesn't use lots of ram, go with distros that used the LXDE, xfce and fluxbox window managers, or you can use slackware which has good howtos on how to compile, www.slackbuikd.org, www.slackware.com.

As for the Riptide sound/modem card (interesting device) always use the latest kernel and also check this site:
