After a lot of thinking I finally got my vps from @backupsy today & chose CentOS . Now this is the first time I have gotten a vps with ram as low as 512 MB but I was surprised to see the system using around 250 MB right after installation. I haven't installed anything myself yet. The remaining ram will hardly fulfill my needs. So, can you please
1) tell me if this much ram consumption is normal for centos ?
2) Any Linux Distro that take up very little ram ? Whenever I have installed linux variants, the ram is usually no more than 50 MB at startup.
