I finally got around to building a new ubuntu-based VMware appliance. This time, i based it on the “JeOS” variant (Just enough OS) which is a somewhat smaller than the standard server install.
The final result in a compressed 7zip package is … about 45MB, a bit less than i was expecting, and it unpacks into less than 200MB.

The latest ubuntu, codenamed “Gutsy Gibbon”, was released today. It has some very interesting features Release notes and is definitely the best one so far.
After skipping the one version and not having my vmware image updated for ubuntu 7.04 server, i am at least releasing the new version early. I didn’t dedicated much time to testing, so feel free to contact me for bug reports or any questions.
Get it here: VMware - Ubuntu Server 7.10
I am updating my popular Ubuntu Server 6.10 (Edgy Eft) VMware Image to the new version - Ubuntu 7.04 (Feisty Fawn).
Expect this minimal server appliance to be available for download freely in a few days.
This VMware appliance is a standard install of Ubuntu 6.10 server, in a 63MB package.
This image can be useful to quickly deploy a base operating system from a small package, and with a minimal configuration time (about 2 minutes).
Update:
This moved to it’s own Projects page
