    It’s absolutely insane an OS has such re4quirements.
    An OS is basically just a kernel with a shell on top for starting apps. Although the kernel of a modern OS is a technological marvel, it doesn’t even require 1GB. The requirement should not be specified by the OS, but for what software is run on top of it.
    On Linux you can Run a full fledged desktop, and a web browser and office pack on 2GB easy, and with 4GB even have breathing room, and even have 8 TTY’s available just in case.
