I’m looking for advice on a really small linux distro that I can run inside VirtualBox without killing the host system and that can also run the latest Sun/Oracle-Java.
I don’t need anything else on it with the exception of Postgres and a text editor.
I lost track of the millions of different distros, but maybe some of you guys are already deploying stuff like that to your sales droids?
http://susestudio.com/ seems like a good fit- Java, Postgres, and nothing else is a fairly uncommon configuration. Alternatively, starting with Debian minimal, apt-getting what you need, and then redistributing the VirtualBox disk image is a good/quick option.
