   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.
