From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).

Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

Either pxe netboot or usb or installable. Immuttable or not. Ramfs. With a host selector or fully auto login ?

Ultra light 16 to 128mb storage 64-128mb ram. Or "full sized"

And lastly, something like that, but that would run on a proxmox host.

I mean... I did. 🤷‍♂️

Using 32 bits to be conservative that's a bit over 3MB.

Granted I couldn't play most games at that resolution on a 486 but it worked for a desktop resolution.

You kids with your GPUs with gigabytes of memory and your blue jeans...

Different time I suppose. I ran Linux on a old machine with a Pentium and 32mb of ram with systemd about 2 years ago. Sadly it died and now it won't turn on.
