Help me eliminate these services
Hello again 
How can I eliminate these services? I don't have free RAM on one of my VPS.

Their kernel tasks, so their needed.
I actually sorta prefer Mach's way of doing it, which is just to bundle everything to kernel_task.
oh... it is like my other VPS? Because look at this:

They are OpenVZ
In KVM and Xen, Linux likes to cache ram. As you can see from your free -m you are only using 20 mb of ram as the real amount of ram being used is the one before caches and buffers. Hope that helps
So, my VPS from prometeus, is Xen? I thought it was OpenVZ.
In OpenVZ, you don't see any of them processes because you don't have your own kernel. Whereas in Xen/KVM you do have your own kernel so you see and manage them.
You should ignore them, their usually harmless.
Either Xen, KVM or OpenVZ with vSwap (vswap likes to cache ram too).
Thank you! Silly question

Yes @prometeus ... I feel dumber today
thanks! I noticed i had 20mb ran used only hahaha
