   Hi! Mike,   
      
   On 18 Aug 19 09:33, you wrote to me:

   You could run an old Puppy Linux in 256Mb.  I have been running a test Fido   
   node VM with that for... checking... 8 years, this month.  It doesn't need a   
   GUI (my mod), and is a special multi-user flavour (standard Puppy runs as root   
   only).   
      
   Forget using any modern Deb/Ubuntu system under 1Gb (except for Lubuntu).    
   Even their 'server' required same for a test MBSE config, minus GUI.   
      
   Cheers,   
   Paul.
