Ubuntu “Juice”

Virtualisation is the current hot topic within the IT sector at the moment. It has many advantages as well as a few disadvantages, as I discussed on my main blog in System virtualisation - future or fad?

Not to be left out, Canonical announced at the VMWorld conference that they are releasing another Ubuntu version that will be optimised for running as a virtual appliance. Ubuntu JeOS (pronounced “Juice”) stands for Just Enough Operating System, and is a cut down and optimised OS designed to be used to host applications delivered as “virtual appliances” or ready-to-run virtual machines. The optimisation has removed functionality that is not required and optimised the OS in order to improve performance when run as a guest host on VMware.
