Do's and Don'ts
These are the must do's and don'ts of making the boot2root machine.
-
Always link
.bash_historyfile to/dev/nullln -sf /dev/null .bash_history
-
If you for some reason used your SSH key to easily access the VM for testing or any other purpose make sure to remove it.
-
Test your VM with lowest possible hardware configuration so you know when your thing will crash.
-
Make sure to thoroughly test all the things so that you don't mess up.
- If you want other people to test your VM then contact m0tleycr3w
- I get all my VMs test by them :-)

-
Use Fixed memory allocation since that is much faster
- Not a fixed rule but it's prefered.
-
Assign 1 GB RAM first and then test the VM if it's slow or something then extend the RAM .
- This helps to test VM on low specs. We might have 8/16GB ram but the person doing might not have that.

For ubuntu always use the
serverversion and not the GUI/full ISO- http://old-releases.ubuntu.com/releases/
