Ubuntu Flavored Juice…
So I’ve been reading up on JeOS (Just Enough OS), pronouced “juice”, the Ubuntu flavor that is optimized to run as a VMWare appliance. I’m downloading it tonight and will provide an update on what I think. I’m hoping to have some good news shortly as I’m just about fed up running a full blown OS for some utility servers I have. I’ll be happy to cut down some of maintenance tasks and simplify the install and patch process.
Give it a spin yourself and let me know what you think…

*** UPDATE - 12:20AM ***
JeOS is pretty fast. I was able to install everything the same way as a full OS, but it just seems to run a lot smoother in VMWare. More info to come when I learn more.
