Smaller is better. Our current image clocks in around 800-900 mb. It probably incudes a number of things which aren't needed (such as a GUI). We want to remain full featured in our target abilities set, anything that helps with learning rails (and the command line environment), but there are probably plenty of things which are not required.
Find a smaller base image, perhaps in combination with switching build systems (issue https://github.com/ColinDabritz/rails_lab_coat/issues/15), and remove unneeded packages. Unless there is a compelling reason otherwise, our system is command line only.
