Check out the Ubuntu JeOS (Just Enough OS) server edition. It has a
minimal number of packages and a limited number of kernel modules to
support VM hardware. The kernel package was less than half the size of
the normal server kernel package and the entire installed footprint
out of the box is under 400 MB with SSH enabled. If anyone is
interested in building a SIMH appliance, this would probably be a good
starting point.
