Em, that's a big difference. > Two Gigabytes is sufficient for each for RAM. I don't believe it is.

William said 10 distributions. You say an average of 4 releases, so that is 40 VMs. Even at 2 GB, that adds up to 80 GB.

But remember there is some overhead with running VMs. It's not like Solaris zones, where its practical to have thousands on one machine. It's also going to need quite a bit of CPU power unless the buildbot was going to only do a few builds at a time.
