Lower the minimum specifications of RAM

Just an fyi, we are not in a position to adjust the system requirements right now. In the future we may be able to provide lower recommendations based on use cases where less features are required. E.g. if you just need a basic file server, no apps, VMs, or other services, it may be possible to run the system reliably with less than 8gb of RAM. 

That being said, this likely wouldn’t happen until after 1.0. For now, feel free to experiment but if you have “out of memory” issues, you know why 😉

I think anyone that is willing to drop $300 on an operating system is probably willing to spend $20 on RAM, maybe even less if you salvage old parts.
