Question: Does someone knows a small linux distro that comes with apt package?

I tried puppy linux and dsl, but I didn't like any of those.

I am looking to setup a LAMP into a virtual machine with a small linux, and I am looking for a distro with apt because i am familiar with the package, and it would be easier for me to setup and upgrade a server.

Answer: 
You can create a minimal, customised virtual image with `vmbuilder` ([docs](https://help.ubuntu.com/10.04/serverguide/C/jeos-and-vmbuilder.html)), from the `python-vm-builder` package.

```
sudo vmbuilder kvm ubuntu

```

vmbuilder relies on a very useful debian command, debootstrap.

There is also `virt-install` (`virtinst` package), which can work from an install cd. You can use a netinstall image, [here are debian's](http://www.debian.org/CD/netinst/), [and here is ubuntu's mini.iso](https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation/MinimalCD). virt-install isn't quite as fast and automated as the python-vm-builder option, I'd only use that to have the option to run the debian-installer or as a fallback for non-debian, non-debootstrap distros.
Have a look at ArchivistaVM, it is only about 100 MByte (with Xorg + Firefox), or 72 MByte without GUI:

Zip-File without GUI (same password) <https://www.archivista.ch/avtest5.zip>

It works completely in RAM, startup time is about 15 or 20 seconds, there is a cluster mode (drdb), but at this time, the documentation is not yet fully available in English.
