Well, I didn't even think of it, especially since I never tried doing
something like that.

Rather than resource usage from GNUnet, I'm more concerned about
resource usage from the acutal OS installed on the virtual
machine. Hopefully I can find a small distribution that installs quickly
and just works (most don't.)

I'll experiment and see if I can get it to work.

Thank you,
