> What's different, though? Seriously? kernel and less pre-loaded packaging mostly and as Andrew pointed out, there are some tools for building up appliances with what you want in them. I've checked and reiserfs, ntfs, pcmcia, manpages and others are part of the default server install but all in all, there's probably only about 20-30 packages missing from JeOS. I don't know what the kernel gives you but a diff with /boot/config-xxxxx would probably tell more. > I couldn't build the VMware guest modules in jeOS, either.

I thought one of those links mentioned you needed to use the vmwaretools v6.0.3 or higher and from what I found, that's part of Workstation 6.0.3. I've also seen mention of getting open-vmwaretools plus a mention here. > So, it seems, jeOS is just a waste of time. if you don't need the things it gets you then yes. CPU resource are cheap and so are disks and you can trim down the server install if you really care to see what's there and not needed. JeOS people already did that but it's your call. I just installed the 8.04 server and will see where open-vmwaretools are to try those. If they build in 8.04 server, they'll likely build in JeOS 8.04 too.
