Smallest linux with apt repositories? [closed]

Does someone knows a small linux distro that comes with apt package?

I tried puppy linux and dsl, but I didn't like any of those.

I am looking to setup a LAMP into a virtual machine with a small linux, and I am looking for a distro with apt because i am familiar with the package, and it would be easier for me to setup and upgrade a server.

You can create a minimal, customised virtual image with vmbuilder (docs), from the python-vm-builder package.

sudo vmbuilder kvm ubuntu

vmbuilder relies on a very useful debian command, debootstrap.

There is also virt-install (virtinst package), which can work from an install cd. You can use a netinstall image, here are debian's, and here is ubuntu's mini.iso. virt-install isn't quite as fast and automated as the python-vm-builder option, I'd only use that to have the option to run the debian-installer or as a fallback for non-debian, non-debootstrap distros.

Ubuntus JeOS was beeing build for exactly your purpose.

https://help.ubuntu.com/community/JeOS

as single iso until 8.04

Now part of the server iso. Just select "install minimal virtual machine" in the install menu.

Maybe Turnkey LAMP Stack Appliance fits your needs.

Well for light DE you could try lubuntu.

If you just want something light, then use the Ubuntu minimal install and build from there
