My vBox for Fido is only allowed 128Meg RAM.  Same with the other one running
my POP3/SMTP/LAN-side HTTP server.  That's why I still run Win98SE.  Low
requirement for RAM.

Let's see... Ubuntu only requires 512Meg last I looked.  There'd be some
overhead sure.  vBox would require some for itself, and a meg for eack vBox it
rus IIRC.  You might just do it.

Alternatively, Puppy Linux needs only ~100Meg RAM for itself.  I used to run
Puppy+vBox on an old P-III (which is itself now a vBox running in Ubuntu). 
There's a few extra steps doin' in with Puppy, though.

Cheers,
Paul.
