So I looked at jeOS ("just enough OS") that Ubuntu provides for

What's the difference between that and a base install of Ubuntu

from using the jeOS release over the Server release?
I feel like I'm missing something.
Other than the optimized kernel, you're not gaining much. They key to
the jeOS project isn't jeOS itself, but ubuntu-vm-builder - the magic
that lets you build your own custom jeOS appliances. It's a very
enticing alternative to rPath, especially with paravirt-ops now baked
right into the kernel.
