I need to setup a Linux VM. I'm looking for a lightweight distro that doesn't take much disk space and resources. I tried Lubuntu but it took 9GB of disk space in the end. I don't have time to setup Arch from scratch either. I'm also thinking of trying Debian with the bare minimum installation requirements. What do you recommend, /g/?

I'd go stable. Systemd is like a PMSing biatch.

I recomend Porteus. I think its much more polished than puppy and looks better out of the box. You can "build" the iso on the official webside with a nice little web gui.

The installation is realy easy. Just extract the iso to the drive and use the install porteus script. This works on linux and windows btw.

With xfce ~ 150mb
