Basically what I want to do is create a series of VERY tiny VMs that are all independent of each other, which provide one service. For instance, I might put apache on one VM, and tomcat on another, and so on. Obviously, I would want their memory usage to be absolutely minimized, seeing that I would like to run them all on one computer. I would probably provide them 64M-128M of RAM each, for their specific service. Perhaps a little more if really required. Is there really anything that I should worry about? Perhaps I should just DO IT? -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list
