This is for home, not a datacenter, not going to start a VPS company, etc.
I have an old Shuttle PC that presently runs Deb 6 with no problems. Works great as a desktop box for Vuze, some lab stuff, etc.
I was getting ready to reload it and thought...why not reload it with OvZ and then I could have multiple VPSes on it.
It has 2GB of RAM and 2x320GB SATA drives. CPU:

Not expecting things to run fast but it's just going to be glacial I won't bother. Don't plan to oversell myself...was thinking maybe a small host OS and then 2-3 small VPSes at 256-512MB? Probably not a lot of times when more than 1 would be active.
