miCRoSCoPiC^eaRthLinG 0 Report post Posted March 16, 2005 Hi, A couple of days back there was this query floating around regarding the tiniest OS ditributions available. I think I'd posted something on OpenQNX which used to come on a single 1.44MB floppy including an extremely decent GUI. Here I've found another list on Google Directories that covers almost all the working Linux Distributions that come under the size of 10MB. For all the Linux fans out there - this is a gold mine.Get to it @ http://forums.xisto.com/no_longer_exists/Following up on this, if anyone's interested in the full blown distros, goto: http://forums.xisto.com/no_longer_exists/Have fun Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
