Good idea.

There is also helloworld-image, which I created to show a minimal
Linux "system" consisting of kernel + "helloworld" application running
as init./

For minimal, it depends on the MACHINE I would say, but the naming
"minimal" is wrong. Minimal in what way?
A machine which has a console should not need an SSH server in minimal image.

It would be wiser to indicate purpose ("console") instead of size ("minimal").

Maybe "headless" is a better name, for an image that has no input
method, whereas "console" means "console-shell-access".
