2*128 MB, and 2*512 MB, i hosted 20 homepages with that and running email at
the same time on it, with f-prot, bitdefender, clamav, amavisd-new, dovecot v1,
postfix, i am still impressed i did not get out of mem :=)

i can beat you there, my hp dl 585 g1 have 4 cpu cards with 8GB memory banks,
and each cpu cards is dual core, so in total in top seen i have 8 cpus to play
with, the bogomips on it is only 43200, way more then my quad p2 200 mhz :=)
(rpi beat my p2 easely)

yes 64G is a limit pr memory controller, on systems with more memory controller
one can have more memory pr cpu :=)

with 32G in my hp, its nearly compiling on ramdisk cached data, i had it using
iscsi storages (promise vtrak 15200), if i am going to turn it on again i need
to recovery the raid controller :/

i will plan on this for my atoms

yep it does, i  did not consider this was a elf that can be started from
command line, thanks for learning me something :=)

yep, that cd is actuly buildt on gentoo, no kidding

will google more on them, to make a choice later with it

gentoo use udev native, but there is a eudev that try to make some funny things
in udev, i dont need that either

now have kernel 4.13
