Hi Noel:

I run Evergreen under VMWare on a laptop that has 1.5 GB of RAM
installed. I give the Evergreen image 512 MB of RAM.

I run other VMWare images on workstations with just 1 GB of RAM
installed and it seems to work well enough there.

(Another thing to add to my Evergreen Gentoo image README -- thanks!)
