Linux tools for generating Just Enough OS
The open source Linux operating system offers a lot of compelling  advantages in virtualized environments. The platform’s inherent flexibility and modular design makes it possible to reduce overhead by omitting unneeded components. Instead of virtualizing an entire general purpose operating system, you can use a minimalistic profile that bundles only the bare necessities and the dependencies that you need to deploy your application. These slim platform images are often referred to as “Just Enough Operating System†(JeOS) software appliances.
