Re: [PLUG] Linux distribution for virtuous machines
|
Last time I looked, a base install of Ubuntu server did not use a GUI
and was between 500 - 800 MB, depending on the "servers" installed
(http, ftp, ssh, dns, dhcp, etc.). My fully loaded server install right
now has an installed size of 977 MB, with another 100 MB in /var. I'm
not including /home since that is all my data. No desktop or other GUI
is installed.
root@data1:/tmp# uname -r
2.6.22-14-server
