Take a look at the Gentoo Network Appliance Project. It can easily run in |
| 10 |
64MB of RAM for most tasks. You can customize the image to take out |
| 11 |
services you don't need. This has the added advantage of letting you |
| 12 |
maintain the configurations in a way that makes for easy provisioning of |
| 13 |
a new service/VM. |
