Hello,

I have been using some virtual machine environments, but I have not
found what I need, usually the only disk images that I found are with
complete linux environments that includes applications and user
interface. So Clint or anyone can you tell me where I can get a disk
image with a simple linux on it without user interface and that
stuff?. thanks so much.
