I would like to have an Ubuntu VirtualBox vm to develop in Java. Though, it seems somewhat an overkill to run only the JVM, IntelliJ, Grails, Git, Maven... as I am new to Linux, I would like to keep on using Ubuntu. What do you recommend as distro of choice? Xubuntu? Lubuntu? Any other? Thanks!

Unity 2D, Xubuntu and Lubuntu are pretty lightweight, I recommend any of those. Even a KDE desktop minimal installation is fast enough (no effects and other tools).



Also with a bit of patience you can use the Ubuntu minimal CD to make your own desktop without all the bloat and extra unneeded tools.



I had a similar question some time ago, have a look for ideas, on the question itself there is also a link for information on how to get a minimal installation CD
