Damn Small Debian-Based Distro based on X11 lib (<100-150 Mb)
Hello,
For minimalist and improved performances, it would be great to find a sort of modern version of DSL based on Debian (without systemd). Would you know eventually a Damn Small Debian-Based Distro based on X11 lib (<100-150 Mb)? Just light applications: xedit, xpaint, xclock, xcalc, TED,... maybe open motif? There isn't. So, why not trying make such a leisure development for fun? Best regards Pat |
Antix 16 Core libre Iso has already been built for questions like this.
Besides Linux BBQ. And others. I am sure other members have a say in this also. Edit: With Linux BBQ. I am not certain about the systemd question. I am positive about the AntiX core statement though. |

fatdog linux has a nice booting menu and it works pretty well on modern machines (not old ones). |
Can't go wrong with AntiX. Best of the mini-distributions, in my opinion. A fantastic project, highly recommended. :)
(edit: we cross-posted, looks like you've already tried AntiX) |

Distrowatch published a recent feature story about small linux distributions under 100mb. Good reading!

Tiny Core & Slitaz are small usable distros, & I believe also Alpine - but they are not Debian based.
I see you use FreeBSD, so you might want to consider OpenBSD, (if it will run on your hardware), much smaller system installation than FreeBSD. |

So far I recall puppy is not having a kernel for K6 processors, right? |
ALL official Puppy versions up to, and including, Lucid 5.2.x had a kernel with i486 compatibility.
