Ubuntu loads in a lot more stuff by default. One other thing to be aware of is that Debian takes less RAM to begin with than Ubuntu does. Ubuntu loads in a lot more stuff by default.

Second, the 32-on-64 stuff (allowing providers to give you 32-bit PAE Xen guests on x86_64 boxes) is only stable with the most recent (domU and dom0) kernels; I notice on mine, the 32-on-64 stuff is a bit flaky on the RHEL/CentOS 2.6.18-53.1.6.el5xen xenU kernels, but it works fine on the 2.6.18-53.1.14.el5xen and above XenU kernels.

Haven't considered this point before. I once thought 64 bit machines are faster, usually 15%-30% faster than 32 bit ones. But just as you have pointed out, for a 64MB box, the most important thing is save as much memory as possible. Thanks for pointing out. Haven’t considered this point before.
