OS linux / Windows Ram usage.
How much ram does linux use on a VDS? i have a single core VDS server at the moment with windows 2008 on it and it boots around 500 megs of ramish area, if i were to install linux which one would let me get 1000FPS + low ram useage?

Re: OS linux / Windows Ram usage.
On both OSes, it can be difficult to read how much RAM is truly in use sometimes. In Windows, are you looking at your total RAM minus the "Available" number in the task manager?dukenukemz wrote:How much ram does linux use on a VDS? i have a single core VDS server at the moment with windows 2008 on it and it boots around 500 megs of ramish area, if i were to install linux which one would let me get 1000FPS + low ram useage?
Linux does use a bit less RAM than Windows -- around 50 MB for the base kernel, as rusty said. I'd recommend the Gentoo default install here as the leanest of the two autoinstalled kernel options (and probably the leanest across all Linux flavors).
