Topic: Linux Distro recommendations for a wallet sandbox (Read 1229 times)
Thanks everyone. I am experimenting with Debian now but I am still interested in any additional recommendations.
Wasn't there a distro just for this. I remember reading about it but now I've forgotten the name.
Also, you could use chroot on Debian-based system (Debian, Some-buntu, Mint etc)
Code:
debootstrap testing /chroot/ http://ftp.us.debian.org/debian
chroot /chroot/
aptitude install whatever you need
adduser user
su user
chroot /chroot/
aptitude install whatever you need
adduser user
su user
Ubuntu? Small memory footprint, small disk footprint? No way.
Use Debian netinstall.
Use Debian netinstall.
Quick, dirty and noob friendly

Debian (I use Wheezy, but whatever should work) is what you want...and the above Ubuntu dependencies should do the trick there too.
Quick and dirty
Ubuntu 10.04, 11.04, 12.04
And use these commands to make sure your system has everything it need to compile, run *coin daemons and other tools.
Not optimized for space usage when it comes to packages..

I am looking for recommendations for a Linux distribution to use in a VM so that I can effectively sandbox wallets for new alt coins.
Requirements:
1. Small memory footprint
2. Small disk footprint
3. Minimal need to install additional packages in order to be able to compile new wallets from source.
I will be running the wallet in daemon mode so I don't care about the GUI. cgminer will be isolated on a different host.
I know there are others that put new wallets in a sandbox. What distribution are you using for this task?
