lightweight Chat client/server?

[Charles Richards]

You can tune the openfire JVM configuration to run in 256MB of RAM, possibly less with only < 6 users.
You also do not need to use an external DB for it - it can run with it's own embedded DB.

It's probably the easiest to install / configure Jabber client I've come across, but there's a good list noted here: http://xmpp.org/software/servers.shtml
