Well, as part of preparation of JeOS I try to define some possible OpenSolaris reduction strategies. I think then what we need for VMC target Level 5 Pure CLI environment (Command line one with no X and GUI libs dependencies), this is same level which I target with JeOS design. This is the reason then JeOS like set of packages can be a good as starting point for experiments.

Network boot based AI image need more Minimalization approach, Live-CD based AI image need more reduction approach which will guarantee more richer functionality: OpenSolaris JeOS Prototype (Part5: Reduction vs Minimalization) http://blogs.sun.com/VirtualGuru/entry/opensolaris_jeos_prototype_part4_reduction > Alok Nice day Rudolf Kutina (VirtualGuru)
