Base the container on ubuntu or debian instead of Fedora? about gns3-docker

[gcasella]

Hey @noplay,
I chose Fedora primarily due to personal preference.
I also have plans to creating my own repository to package iouyap, ubridge and dynamips.

I didn't compile VPCS it is only the binary file.

I'll take a look into a debian based release of the Docker Container as well.

Note: Github is a new beast for me all together, need to learn this thing via my linux system :)

Stuff move fast :P The situation already changed since yesterday

A Fedora packager started the packaging:

You can probably join your efforts.

@noplay I was able to reduce the total size of this Docker Container by approximately 500MB.

I'm looking at other ways that I can reduce the side and remove any other unused packages.

Looking at your install.sh it's only based on Ubuntu 14. I'm looking to test this out on the latest version of Ubuntu.

Update: Nevermind saw it on the gns3.com website to use
deb http://ppa.launchpad.net/gns3/ppa/ubuntu xenial main
deb-src http://ppa.launchpad.net/gns3/ppa/ubuntu xenial main
