And that was like... two years ago? 1GB of RAM and actually ~700MB usable before I found the proper magik incantations to really disable kdump.

Also have used 1GB machines for literally years.

Strongly suggest you shouldn't strongly suggest.

Uh.. your link... doesn't show how a VPS can have SWAP enabled

Hello, it's the year 2025 here. If you use OpenVZ-like ancient shit - it's on you.
