"Just" 270 MB for...an idle server?
Debian is still a great distributions but let's measure the ram consumption of a freshly installed *BSD or Illumos based server. The numbers are totally different.
In fairness, it is not "just booting". The screenshot shows exim and an unattended-upgrades script started up.
The world has still yet to shake the idea that every single server in the normal case needs a standalone, monolithic, local queue/delivery, mail system running; it seems.
I wonder why systemd-timesyncd has a larger VIRT value than anything else there.
