My application is running on ubuntu 14.04 vms. And it is decided that we install utility software like security Gateway , imq on individual vms.

I think it is overkill to run a security gateway on full fledged OS. Is there any better way, wherein i can use a OS with lightest memory, filesystem and cpu footprint ?

Just as some applications can get their work done using lighttpd in-place of a complete webServer.

I am need of a lightweight server image, which will be easier to store as well . Lubuntu takes 800+ MB. I think https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation/MinimalCD will do. Let me try that and post the results.
