I very much like PicoBSD, which works great as a single floppy distro, but I also have a couple of systems (notebooks) which have limited resources (300MB HD, 12MB RAM) which I would love to be able to use BSD on. I need a bit of user data space, so I think a striped down distro (small enough to fit on, let say, 50-100MB) but with full funcionality would be great for me. At the moment I am using muLinux (a small Linux distro) on them, but it uses very old binaries and libraries and is not a real "ful" distro (since it aims to be both a single floppy and a HD distro at the same time)... I'd be happy to see such thing on the BSD world. Regards, Angel To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-small" in the body of the message
