Minimal Ubuntu : From prechoice, almost every Linux distribution comes with tons of extra apps. This can be good for those who want a system at home or at work, but these distributions are not suitable for use as servers, containers, and clouds.
There is the latest version of Ubuntu from Canonical: Minimal Ubuntu.
And when the Canonical mentions Minimal, means Minimal. Ubuntu 18.04 Docker είναι μόνο 29MB. Το minimal Ubuntu ISO, είναι περίπου στα 40 MB (μόνο τα απαραίτητα αρχεία) , και προορίζεται για άτομα που επιθυμούν να κάνουν λήψη πακέτων από τα αποθετήρια της Canonical κατά την installation.
This release may be useful for hobbyists, but Minimal Ubuntu 18.04 Long Term Support (LTS) also works as an efficient container operating system. It enables developers to develop and launch their applications faster. The minimum picture of Ubuntu is already used as standard Docker Hub Ubuntu 18.04 LTS ISO image.
Why
Because its tiny size allows for boot, better performance and improved stability for cloud developers and system administrators.
That it is small does not mean it is not powerful. It is fully functional and you can add to it the Ubuntu applications you want. Minimum Ubuntu is designed to run completely automated functions.
The documentation, local settings, and other features that are addressed to the Ubuntu Server user have been removed. The operating system contains only the vital components of the boot sequence. However, you can control it remotely, as it has ssh, apt and snapd.
