Star Jeos: Canonical's Virtualisation-Specific Ubuntu Linux
Linked by Thom Holwerda on Fri 14th Sep 2007 13:38 UTC, submitted by Delvin Nair
Ubuntu, Kubuntu, Xubuntu "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."

JeOS is a guest that runs on VMware; it isn't a replacement for VMware.

No, it can be used either way. Running VMWare Server on top of it, with VM guests inside. With it's smaller footprint, there's less host overhead compared to running it on Server 2003 or a full version of SuSe.

I was under the impression JeOS was the OS upon which VMWare runs.... not the other way round.
