in each case, i gonna run everything (dom0 and all domU) in text mode, i
do not want to spend cpu-time on gui-issues...so my hope is to give dom0
128 mb and 64 mb rams....perhaps if i sing loud enough, i get the money
for further ram :-) at least 128mb ram per each would be enough.

btw. freebsd will run nothing else than a jabber-server with 50
users...and for a pure linux-firewall, i think 64 megs are enough...
