VMware Image - Ubuntu JeOS 8.04 (Hardy Heron)
About:
This is a standard install of Ubuntu 8.04 JeOS (Just Enough Os), in a 46MB package!
This VM can be usefull for quickly deploying a base operating system from a small package, and with a minimal configuration time (less than 2 minutes).
Some steps were taken to reduce the archive size down to a minimum:
* Some temporary data has been removed from /var (namely apt cache, installer logs, etc).
* The partition uses the ext2 filesystem and was cloned to a new .vmdk as a part of the shrink process.
* The archive is in 7-Zip format (GPL - search you package manager or grab it from http://www.7-zip.org).
