We run lots of Catalyst apps on the smallest Linode.  I think they give
us something like 340M of RAM.  This is enough.

I use a 512M Slicehost for jrock.us, which runs my mail server and a few
Catalyst applications.

Anyway, nearly every VPS provider I know of lets you add more memory
easily.  Buy the small one, and if you need more memory, upgrade.
