I thought that this thread sounded interesting so I had a go creating several vmware images. The first was an Ubuntu which weighed in at over 500 mb (all sizes are the 'used' portion from df -h), which then stopped working (I think I _may_ have deleted the kernel image while trying to save space).
I then tried to install DSL but couldn't get it to find the hard drive. Then I tried to create an image using rbuilder online but Apache2 isn't available and 'cooking' my group with Python generated an error so no joy there. My final effort was to set up a minimal Debian installation. I've got it set up with Postgres 8.1, Apache2, subversion and Python 2.4. Django is installed from svn and installed. There's a default project directory set up (diddydjango) with the admin app configured and installed. The image is ~190Mb when zipped up (230 with 'portable' compression). There's no X so you'll have to ssh into it. Because there's no local gui I've set up a script to bind the dev server to the external address. The idea is that you can drop straight into a working environment ready to start an app. For editors you've got Vim set up for 3773 Py7h0n d3v (inc snippetsEmu and Project) or Nano. It's stuck on my machine for the time being as I've nowhere to upload it to. If anyone would like a copy then drop me a mail and we'll see what we can do.
