Everybody wants as much as possible and the point of a VM is to support
multiple tasks.  So it would be good if we could narrow it down
somewhat.  We are only going to run Allura here right now, no compilers
and other stuff.  We don't want to get as low in memory as to
significantly increase disk traffic.  But since we are not going to run
a desktop (correct me if I am wrong) I think we should be fine with a
starting RAM of 1GB.  If we find that we need consistently more or less,
we can still ask back.
