"Just" 270 MB for...an idle server?
Debian is still a great distribution but let's measure the ram consumption of a freshly installed *BSD or Illumos based server. The numbers are totally different. -

netbsd will be using 32mb and then top will report that "2gb" is in use after /etc/daily runs

@washbear of course. But I've recently tested Raspbian vs NetBSD on an old Raspberry Pi A+. Raspbian was almost unusable, swapping all the time. NetBSD is totally usable - I'm not talking about desktop, of course.
