No, there isn't, although the Fedora kernel team is looking at creating one for F21 and beyond. It's mostly a matter of having resources to maintain the division -- every thing like this has a cost in human time. As the comment on Ask Ubuntu notes, So it is considerably smaller in terms of disk space. I'm not aware of any tuning for performance or any functional difference that way, I think it's just for smaller images. and, indeed, this is one of the three big things that keeps our Fedora images from being tiny. (The other two are i18n and docs, which can be stripped out, but not in an elegant way.) Our image is already smaller than Ubuntu's, but it'd be nice to have room to be that small and also have a few more useful utilities. -- Matthew Miller ☁☁☁ Fedora Cloud Architect ☁☁☁ <mat...@fedoraproject.org> -- users mailing list users@lists.fedoraproject.org To unsubscribe or change subscription options: https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/users Fedora Code of Conduct: http://fedoraproject.org/code-of-conduct Guidelines: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Mailing_list_guidelines Have a question?
