Howdy -- yeah 512MB is the bare minimum amount of RAM that can be used. On some distros, especially when they are 64 bit, that may not be enough.

We'll do some testing and see if we need to update the RAM requirements for 64 bit distros in general.

I've noticed recently that 256 MB isn't enough, even on 32-bit systems. I will change the warning limits in Virtualmin to 512 MB for 32-bit, and 768 for 64-bit.
