[Opensim-dev] Request: OS 0.7.3.1 Config Using Ubuntu "Mini" 11.10?

[Len W. Brown]

Hi everyone! 

A short time back I ran across a very nice way to
install Ubuntu. I've seen some "mini" versions floating around, but this
one should be referred to as "micro" actually. 

It's around 23 megs
(the ISO) and it initializes networking and disk preparation. Then you
decide exactly what you want to include (such as LAMP, Kubuntu, Media
Server, etc) and it downloads the most current versions of applications
needed and installs them automagically so your Ubuntu box only has
exactly what you need and none of the optional "fluff". 

Although I
have no issues whatsoever setting up Apache, MySQL and OpenSim on my
Windows 7 machine, I would REALLY like to set everything up on a
dedicated Ubuntu machine - most preferably a lean and mean virtual
machine. 

I've had no issues installing any flavor/combo of Ubuntu
using this mini installer on VMWare, but I'm still unsure about the next
step - installing and configuring Mono and OpenSim, etc. 

I thought
maybe (hopefully) one of you wonderful people might investigate Ubuntu
Mini and possibly write up a "quick and dirty" barebones installation
guideline for Ubuntu 11.10 & OpenSim 0.7.3.1 (preferably on a VMWare
virtual machine). 

Here's where you can download the mini (micro)
Ubuntu iso:

Thanks for your consideration. I have a static IP here at home
that I've assigned to a domain name and I've ran my own OpenSim server
for a couple years on a Windows XP and more recently a Windows 7 virtual
machine. I'd like to break free of that and use the slimmest possible
configuration of Ubuntu instead. 

Thanks everyone for your time and
consideration.
