Has anybody thought about or put in motion a flavor of FreeBSD that has been optimized for virtualization similar to what was done with Ubuntu Server in JeOS? (http://www.ubuntu.com/products/whatisubuntu/serveredition/jeos)
It would be very useful to have a trimmed down version/installer/kernel that would be optimized, small, fast and efficient when running on hypervisors.
It would also help in continuing to push FreeBSD as a solid VM Guest OS option. When other OS distros get onboard this trend (I read somewhere that RedHat is doing this as well) it will be hard not to look to them as potentially better VM Guest base installs.
This also holds true as even the underlying OS starts to disappear into the cloud as full pre-built applications start to get packaged and delivered without the need to install and configure an OS - it would be great if FreeBSD could easily be used as that base OS.
