If your a provider and currently provide ubuntu/debian/centos/fedora packages, please consider providing minimal ovz images with the minimal installed.
Many people who are just starting with VPSes don't know how to strip them down (nor setup an appropriate firewall) and having stuff like bind9, apache, postfix, and samba installed by default just sucks up memory and creates a larger attack surface for the VPS.
Having minimal images also reduces the amount of work that people who don't use such services like apache/samba/etc to clean up the server.
This especially goes for providers who have those tiny 64/128/256M RAM images. Stripped down, a debian 7 image should use around only 5M of ram, and not the amount that is used on non-minimal images.
