It's also a question of what the customer wants to make, how much he's
working
with packages and how much he knows about the system (if he switches from
stable debian to testing debian, unifying could cause a lot of trouble)

They're cheap. It's also a question of how small a distribution is.. a
system
that takes 200-300mb of disk-space is small and a 160gb Harddisk costs
about 180$ here (Switzerland).
How many vservers are you running on what kind of machines? Anyone tried
really high numbers of vservers yet (>100) on the same machine?
