-  * None
+  * 23.10's installers don't work with only 512 MB of physical RAM ((2024: can't use Vultr's free tier VPS option; [[https://www.vultr.com/?ref=6906013|referral]])), but fine with 1 GB+
+  * :!: 2024/02/07: The 23.10 installer seems to progress very slowly or hang with 1 GB physical RAM at the very end both when waiting for it to do security updates and with pressing cancel updates and reboot; hard-rebooting a VPS at this point seems fine
