[ZendTo] Recommended Ubuntu setup for zend.to server

[Jules]

Adam,

With only 512MB, do you use the encryption feature?
If so, what's the peak memory use just as it starts the encryption process?
That's when it is turning your passphrase into something suitable for 
use as a key, and usually that's where you're most likely to run out of RAM.

P.S. Do you run it for cam.ac.uk? (You don't appear to be a cl.cam.ac.uk 
address). Or just a bit of cam.ac..uk?

Cheers,
Jules.

'In Flanders fields the poppies blow
  Between the crosses, row on row,
  That mark our place: and in the sky
  The larks still bravely singing fly
  Scarce heard amid the guns below.

  We are the dead: Short days ago,
  We lived, felt dawn, saw sunset glow,
  Loved and were loved: and now we lie
  In Flanders fields!

  Take up our quarrel with the foe
  To you, from failing hands, we throw
  The torch: be yours to hold it high
  If ye break faith with us who die,
  We shall not sleep, though poppies grow
  In Flanders fields.' Lieutenant Colonel John McCrae

Composed at the battlefront on May 3, 1915
during the second battle of Ypres, Belgium
