If an OS installation needs about 4GB for filesystem, and the application 
demands 
20GB of swap (because of some lousy memory management), you'll need around 24GB 
of 
disk space per DomU. As the server only has a 73GB disk (2.5" in a 1U rack 
server), space is limited.

Nevertheless: Saving is always better than wasting.

Ulrich
