[Users] A question about Node RAM

[jjs - mainphrame]

I started out using debian, but I'm building new openvz servers on centos.
There are some who for ideological reasons prefer to stick with debian, and
I completely understand that. The rhel-based kernel provides the best
results for existing debian openvz servers. Personally I'm pragmatic, and
prefer what works best, but changing distros can take awhile when
production servers are involved.
