I install slitaz as is a small linux distro. my objetive is to use a low consumming linux distro that use low ram and use more ram in the guest OS I installed virtualbox on slitaz
my hardware is atom 1.6ghz with 2 gigas ram. using slitaz and virtualbox with only one OS guest.
the questions here if I have 2 gigas ram what would be the ram needed in slitaz to make the guest work fine with as much ram as I can
it is possible to have 1.7 gigas ram in the guest and .3 gigas ram in the host (slitaz)
Probably. You're pretty safe to use whatever the free command tells you. is left. My desktop has 2GB and I've split it 512MB/1.5GB okay, likewise my 1GB netbook 512MB each if I close a couple of bulky things.
