I gave the virtual machine 800 MB RAM on a host with 2 GB RAM.

If your machines can boot from USB flash drives you can download the Debian 
Live version we created for Swiss schools (follow the download link on the 
webpage to download the Debian 6 version):

Just boot the DVD in your home machine, the installer starts up automatically 
and makes producing a Debian Live USB flash drive a breeze. Then you can test 
on any machine that can boot from USB.
