About:
This is a standard install of ubuntu 7.10 server, in a 75MB package.
This VM can be usefull for quickly deploying a base operating system from a small package, and with a minimal configuration time (about 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 was also 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).
Aditional software included:
* The only extra package installed was ssh-server.
