CentOS 8 needs 2GB just to install. In my experience you will struggle to get *anything* useful to run with 2GB.

Subject: [clamav-users] Services Difference & Memory Utilization

I noticed on my CentOS 8 machine, there are two different services listed: clamd@multi-user.service and system-clamd.slice. I don't have enough memory to run the first one, but only the second one (192M). Is clamd really running? What is the difference between these two services?

I only have 2 GB of memory. Is there any way to run clamd? I get this error when I try to run it:

[201060.293876] Out of memory: Killed process 254784 (clamd) total-vm:830500kB, anon-rss:682068kB, file-rss:0kB, shmem-rss:0kB, UID:983
