What happens in that condition is that kernel invokes the Out-of-Memory Killer (OOM) which selects a process/processes & shoots it in the face. As a result, things spiral out of control & may lead to a panic. You have a very limited control over the OOM killer & you cannot always predict which process it will select. It is not a problem with the ISO or a specific linux distro.
