I pretty much came to the same conclusion myself before I ordered the VPS. In the end, I went for a Link2, which is just about bearable. For the time being, I'm steering clear of gcc-4.1.1 because of some issues that I found with certain C++ compilations. At the moment, I'm using a minimal lighttpd install - I'm just about to publish another entry on the whole thing later today, hopefully. Currently the plan is to stick with Link2 until there's enough spare cash about to upgrade to the next tier. Thanks for the feedback Scott.

You probably can't even do a standard LAMP stack with 64Mb. I've got a VPSLink-3 with 256Mb of RAM, and still having lots of issues with Gentoo due to amount of memory needed for gcc4.1 to compile.
