I've been thinking a lot about this lately and haven't been able to find any good documentation online that explains this:
When installing Ubuntu Server, I can choose between Minimal system and Minimal virtual machine by hitting the F4 button at the install screen.
Why should I choose one over the other?
Best Answer
You choose
virtual machine
if you want to install this server inside a virtual machine (ie. Virtualbox, VMware Player) and that install is optimised for usage within a virtual machine.Otherwise you are installing on a system itself and should choose for
minimal system
