I would like to see an absolute minimal container, perhaps based on tinycore
http://www.tinycorelinux.com/
which is the smallest installation I have seen so far. Debian based systems even when stripped down bare seem to be around 150-200meg. Tinycore, uncompressed, should be around 15-30meg.
We don't need X11, so, microcore version of tinycore is the best:
Tinycore runs completely from initrd, so, in order to adapt it to OpenVZ, just need to extract the files from initrd file, microcore.gz (I think/hope that it is that easy).
Tinycore uses squashfs for it's modules. Squashfs would be a great addition to OpenVZ.
Thanks
