[Live-demo] how much space for data?

[Ricardo Pinho]

Hi Jorge,

Thank you for your wise recommendations.
GISVM, at first was also aimed to help people (mainly Windows GIS users) to enter into Linux World! 
So I made it available with the standard Ubuntu Apps Pack also available (Including OpenOffice). 

For this new alpha1 version we removed several apps [gnome-games where left by mistake] ;-) (look at setup.sh)  

But I must agree with you. For this FOSS4G2009 edition we could even cut some more:

I agree that we should remove:
* xsane
* brasero


But I'm uncertain about:
* thunderbird
This could be in hand if would like to send/receive mails from inside GISVM. Receive data and send results for/from GIS operations.
(very low interest)

* gimp
Very useful for edition and converting Raster files inside GISVM.
(medium interest)

One that I would be very happy to get ride of was: 
sun-java-6 (+80MB). 
And replaced it with Open-JDK!
But unfortunately I've detected problems on using Geoserver with Open-JDK (dealing with text fonts)
If anyone has an solution to remove sun-java-6, please tell us!!!

Thank you,
Ricardo Pinho

Doing an overview of alpha1 installed packages, those are the biggest
ones (using this tip[1]).

21.363 MB      pidgin-data
22.812 MB      app-install-data
23.922 MB      vim-runtime
24.164 MB      smbclient
31.703 MB      thunderbird
32.090 MB      gimp-data
33.738 MB      libgcj9-0
35.145 MB      libgl1-mesa-dri
41.066 MB      gnome-games-data
44.312 MB      xubuntu-artwork
63.527 MB      linux-headers-2.6.28-11
82.539 MB      sun-java6-bin
91.234 MB      linux-image-2.6.28-11-generic

So, it seems the VM doesn't have many chances to improve it (Xubuntu is
great), maybe we can remove to get some MB

* thunderbird
* gimp
* xsane
* brasero

Gnome games is just the soft I wouldn't remove just in case you are on a
boring presentation :-)
