Ask HN: RFC – Ubuntu Minimal Images
In last year&#x27;s &quot;Ask HN: What do you want to see in Ubuntu 17.10?&quot;, we noticed a common request for a &quot;lighter, smaller, more minimal&quot; Ubuntu image.<p>To date, we&#x27;ve shaved the Bionic Beaver 18.04 LTS minimal images down by over 53%, since Ubuntu 14.04 LTS, and trimmed nearly 100 packages and thousands of files -- currently sitting at 30MB compressed.  We have 2.5 months left in the 18.04 LTS cycle.  Can the HackerNews crowd help us find any more savings?<p>Feedback welcome in the HN comments below, or the Google Forms survey here:<p>- https:&#x2F;&#x2F;ubu.one&#x2F;imgSurvey<p>More detailed post at:<p>- http:&#x2F;&#x2F;blog.dustinkirkland.com&#x2F;2018&#x2F;02&#x2F;rfc-ubuntu-1804-lts-minimal-images.html<p>On behalf of the Ubuntu team,
