"Ubuntu sponsor Canonical announced a version of its Linux software stripped down for use just on virtualized environments. The version, called Jeos for 'Just Enough Operating System' and pronounced 'juice', is now available." That's what ZDnet and News.com report, but Jeos is nowhere to be found on the Ubuntu website. El Reg claims: "Canonical is still in the midst of deciding whether not to make JeOS wildly available, since it's mostly meant as an ISV thing."

Canonical is doing some pretty kewl things with linux and Ubuntu. I have been on the fence between raw debian and ubuntu for some time, I really wish more distros would done something like ubuntu LTS. Debian patches distros for years and years, so running stock debian vs ubuntu lts, is not gonna be significantly different.
A purpose built distro just for virtualization using Xen, VMware, or OpenVZ is a great thing. Especially if its something you can buy w/support.
