	You can start with something like Ubuntu Minimal. And then
	add only the packages you want. It is very light weight.
	If you know Debian, think netboot. While it installs everything
	over the network you end up with a very simple CLI version of
	Ubuntu which you can build up your OS from there.

	Note Minimal is not a server install.
