Does virtualization count?

[Richard W.M. Jones]

I'll just note these two partially related points:

Debian can install and boot in 32 MB of RAM.  This is very useful for
virtualization, since the number of virtual machines you can run is
often a simple function:

  total_VMs = total_RAM / RAM_required_by_each_VM

The libguestfs appliance needs to boot up in 5 seconds, and consume
the minimum amount of disk and memory possible.  (Currently it boots
in 12 seconds, consumes 70 MB of disk, and up to 500 MB of RAM).
