I am looking for advice on a really small linux distribution that I can run inside VirtualBox without killing the host system, and can also run the latest version of Sun / Oracle-Java. I don't need anything else except Postgres and a text editor.
I have lost millions of different distributions, but maybe some of you guys are already using such things for your sales droids?
http://susestudio.com/ seems like a good idea - Java, Postgres and nothing else - a rather unusual configuration. Alternatively, starting with the minimum size of Debian, apt-getting what you need and then redistributing the VirtualBox disk image is a good / quick option.
