A (very) long time ago, I came across a 50mb MySQL appliance - a gentoo-based build that has "virtualappliances.net" on its management page, although these days that URL has no webserver attached to it. Thus I was thinking of the roll-your-own approach. To start with, is there a VMware image that has: * bloat removed, preferably <100mb in size * vmware tools installed (and the related drivers for network, memory reclaim, etc) * don't mind which Linux flavour, but preferably a recent release * suitable for VMware Server * no applications installed (e.g. not a LAMP image)
