Here are the differences between a minimal virtual machine, minimal and normal per Bonsai Framework setup instructions,After initial setup, let the system settle for 10 minutes (there's some last minute processes).
The following commands were used,
...
| Attribute | Minimal Virtual Machine | Minimal *unchecked standard system utilities | Normal | Recently Ubuntu Snappy 15.04 | Microsoft Azure Default Image |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Packages | 217 | 223 | 430 [*] standard system utilities selected | 2 core packages containing minimal utilities | 439 |
| Memory Used (measured shortly after Initial boot) | 36 MB | 62 MB | 80 MB | 165 MB (this does not look right) | 97 MB |
Tasks (minus 2 to run the commands) * System needs time to settle after boot. | 161 | Initial boot - 9:22PM 178 - 9:45PM 169 - 10:12PM | 223 (did not let it settle) | 174 (did not let it settle) | 152 (double check this does not look right) |
| Disk Space Used | 733 MB | 992 MB | 1.3 GB | 639 MB | 1.9 GB (need to double-check this on a fresh install) |
| Key Advantage | Reduced fat due to uniformity of virtual machines. | Minimal to run a normal Server. | Already includes popular admin packages. | Upgrade core OS as 1 package and revert btw OS upgrades quickly. Made for pure Cloud. |
