My base image is just a Debian stable bare-bones install, and then I run a shell script which apt-get installs the missing packages and tweaks the config. My script (and a VirtualBox image) can be seen here: <a href="http://pagekite.net/commnity/DebianFB/">http://pagekite.net/commnity/DebianFB/</a><br>
<br>This is obviously not a good way to distribute stuff long term, but it's a pretty easy way to get started.<br><br></div><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin: 0pt 0pt 0pt 0.8ex; border-left: 1px solid rgb(204, 204, 204); padding-left: 1ex;">
