The purpose of the images are to give you a bootable, minimum base from which you can make your own virtual machines or appliances. For instance, you might want to make templates for MySQL cluster nodes, or Apache / PHP servers, or other common combinations .. or even a full fledged desktop with KDE. Mostly, the images are built with server or experimentation use in mind. Most people using the jailtime images just want to play with Xen or have a very task specific purpose in mind. Since its rather difficult to strap a foreign OS from most distros, the images are handy. Plus, they save you quite a bit of time. They are very popular with web hosts. Think of them like building blocks to make virtual appliances, or the minimum base to make whatever else you need. Images with X / KDE / GNOME etc would be nice, but also considerably larger. If there were more mirrors, it might be practical to include full desktop templates. I’m one of the contributors to jailtime.

I think we could do prepare a couple of images with X and vnc or something to community uses.
