Actually people do exactly that, although the RULE project created "miniconda" so I haven't had to do that on my old router box recently. I don't know the origin of the 256MB size specification for z900. For x86 its a sane sounding number for a server (remember on your z900 much of your caching, half your device drivers and lots of other stuff is outside of Linux)
