Are you sure about this?  I'm not familiar with VMware Fusion, but for 
instance in VirtualBox you can give the amount of RAM available for the 
guest, and the guest does not know how much memory the host has.

The vpslink like scenario can happen if something like openvz is used:

If somebody has the time to setup a QtonPi development environment as a 
virtualbox image, that would great.
