It's not (only) about the storage space; it's the upload too. That time investment will get paid back over multiple deployments.

That said, now I have "good" broadband, I pay a lot less attention to the image size.

There's already many, many ways to do this and it works fine for me on (primarily) web development.

Desktops, Laptops and Netbooks are certified using the 32bit version of Ubuntu and Servers are certified using the 64bit version of Ubuntu Server Edition. This is based on the most common usage patterns we've seen.

Another answer is that it would lengthen an already long process.

We do that. Have you drilled down into the individual listings?

I'm currently working on displaying the 'core' (processor, network, display) components in the main listings to a) help differentiate between SKUs and b) stop you having to view each model to find the one you're interested in.

All systems are tested from a fresh install, therefore the installation is part of the certified status. Also see my comment about SKUs: a single model name can cover a multitude of incompatibilities.

Anecdotally, I've managed to crash my MacBook while installing OS X.

One of the big issues we have (and have yet to solve) is that of SKUs - just because you have a T510' it doesn't guarantee that the components are 100% identical.

Suggestions (beside testing every possible combination, which simply doesn't scale) are welcome. :)

Within those listings is the Component Catalog that lets you search for individual components (contained within the certified systems). There's no guarantee that individual components will work together, but it's better than not knowing at all.
