i want to know if there's a minimum amount of ram needed to run a VM in xen.

i heard from this mailing list that swap is impossible to use. so is it
possible to run a gentoo or fedora on top of ubuntu with only 230 mb Ram
(256 with 16 shared). please tell me. is it entirley futile for me to even
try.
