You can run Linux in a 12Mb VM just fine -- we do 16 and 32M Debian guests all the time. You just can't run *SuSE or RH as distributed* in that little memory. Different compile option choices, and different decisions on what is "necessary". With a LOT of paring down, you can reduce SuSE or RH to something that will run in a 32M machine. It doesn't look much like the original, though. -- db
