Sounds like the vserver you've built was based on the host server. If
that's the case, and your host server was a fairly typical installation then
1.5gb is about right.
With some good slimming, you'll be able to cut out the packages that you
don't need and get it down to 350 to 500mb per vs. If you unify every
package using the vbuild utility when you create the server and check the
disk space using the vdu package rather than du you'll probably find your vs
is taking up only 20mb of space.

That doesn't look like RH to me :-( I'm lost too.
