Thanks for the suggestions. I haven't tried to make a hand-crafted absolutely minimal Linux install because that would be a hassle to maintain. I'm only installing the Fedora "Core" packages with a handful of extra stuff (fortran, for example). That way upgrading the Guest OS should just work as easily as upgrading the Sage source release.
I agree that sendmail can be turned off. I like sshd, though, because its a nice way to interact with the virtual machine. You can scp files in/out, for example. By default the VM doesn't punch the ssh port through its NAT for security, but that can be easily done in the VirtualBox settings. -- To post to this group, send an email to sage-devel@googlegroups.com To unsubscribe from this group, send an email to sage-devel+unsubscr...@googlegroups.com For more options, visit this group at http://groups.google.com/group/sage-devel URL: http://www.sagemath.org
