Ubuntu JeOS

Ubuntu Server Edition JeOS (pronounced "Juice") is an efficient variant of server operating system, configured specifically for virtual appliances. Currently available as a CD-Rom ISO for download, JeOS is a specialized installation of Ubuntu Server Edition with a tuned kernel that only contains the base elements needed to run within a virtualized environment.Users deploying virtual appliances built on top of JeOS will benefit from:- better perfomances on the same hardware compared to a full non-optimized OS,- smaller footprint of the virtual appliance on their valuable disk space,- fewer updates and therefore less maintenance than a Full Server installation.Ubuntu is a community developed operating system that is perfect for laptops, desktops and servers.
