UML filesystems (was Re: [Sussex] Managing qemu instances)

[Nic James Ferrier]

While we're on the subject of virtualization... do people here think
that a site offering free downloads of filesystems with various
preconfigured stuff in would be interesting?

I'm think of things that are normally a pain to configure like:

  gforge
  asterisk at home
  mythtv
  powerdns/ldap/mysql/postgresql/etc...

If one can download a working filesystem then one can either:

- use it to soup up your native OS
- run services directly inside the OS via chroot
- run a UML on the file system


Anybody interested in such a thing?
