Looking to build myself a tiny, free VMWare image for PHP+MySQL Development

I'm looking to build myself a VMWare image for PHP+MySQL Development.

At present I'm using an ubuntu image which takes ~1 GB of my hard drive space. I'm looking to replace it with something smaller and lighter.

So, I'm curious... What do you folks use? It doesn't matter what OS / webserver as long as it's running Php 5 and MySQL. The smaller and lighter the better.

Any suggestions?

  • Don't forget Slax. Build your own compressed distribution with only what you want. It works well in a virtual machine.
