How much OS is just enough?
,----[ Quote ]
| It seems the definition of just enough operating system (JeOS) and the amount
| of OS needed for virtual appliances depends on who you talk to. The term,
| coined by virtualization leader VMware, refers to an OS stripped down to only
| the necessary components to run a particular application or stack of
| software.

| [...]
|
| Following its recent Linux Automation announcements, Red Hat is also gearing
| up a new version of RHEL for appliances. In doing so, it has indicated it
| thinks the kernel and runtime components of the OS are still very much
| needed. Red Hat also claims its just enough is up to the task, but is
| actually slimmer than Canonical’s Ubuntu JeOS. Canonical’s response: it’s
| hard to comment on Red Hat since it is not yet actually in the light-Linux,
| appliance OS market.
