That sounds good. My term of minimal was a bit misleading perhaps as I did not mean to replace the "minimal" distro we have now. Core might be a better word for it. Of course we would need to also put some disclaimer on the description of core as it is not very accessible or usable without a little customization.

I also think we need to work a bit on pax url to see if it can be made smaller (mostly regarding the number of bundles). I have seen some discussions on the ops4j lists that go in the same direction.

I see.

If I compare with starting directly from the OSGi framework, I can see the following values:
- abstraction of the OSGi framework (supporting both Felix and Equinox)
- Pax URL by default (to support various type of URL)
- Karaf features (to extend the distribution)

Am I right ?

If we use the "Linux distribution wording", I would propose:
- Karaf core (as you propose)
- Karaf net (a "lightweight" distribution bootstrapped with an Internet connection) - Karaf minimal (like the net one but with all embedded in the system repository)
- Karaf (the "complete" distribution)

Does it make sense ? Not sure ;) I have to think about that a bit.
