Ubuntu JeOS

Je = Just enough. This distribution is a minimal installation specifically tailored to the VMWare software package. By providing just enough OS power to get VMWare running, a computer with JeOS will eliminate all wasted space associated with a Desktop installation that is not needed for a Virtual Server environment.

With a reasonably powerful computer, JeOS, and VMWare you will be able to deploy multiple Virtual machines on a single host allowing for easy backup of different server components. The main benefit of a Virtual Guest OS is its one file storage method; a quick drag and drop to a usb Hard Drive and a backup is quickly achieved.

Launchpad is the home for JeOS developments, therefore for updates and news check there:

For the most recent Ubuntu JeOS image check out the repos:

I have added a JeOS VirtualBox VDI image to VirtLinux.com. It is available on the high speed downloads page.

I was just thinking how great and convenient a stripped down linux distro w/vmware would be. To be able to download, install and have the ability to deploy vms w/o wasting time configuring the rest of the os would be very helpful. looking forward to watching this thing mature
