@OS1337 @Yuki @bjornsdottirs well, it does work given aggressive #xz compression.

Problem is rather to shove more on a 1440kB FDD than initramfs+kernel.

Tho a bootfloppy w/ #syslinux that then bootstraps multiple splitted initramfs parts in RAM from multiple disks should be possible.

#TinyCore shows that a minimalist distro can be featureful!

I think I've finally graduated from #linux college.

I've got an old Sony Vaio with 2gb ram and a piss-poor CPU. I tried everything on it. #openbsd, #alpineliux, #tinycore, #antixlinux.. but at the end of the day, it's just slow. So I settled on Alpine with no graphical session. I've been living in the TTY for about 2 weeks now and I gotta say.. who needs a GUI?

With #tmux as my window(pane) manager, I'm able to do everything I need it to.

#TinyCore #Linux is stunning. Here it is running successfully on a 1999 Sony VAIO with a single 333Mhz Celeron processor and 128Mb RAM.

Getting it booted was no effort; burn a CDROM and boot from it. Setting up up wireless networking using an ancient D-Link branded WiFi USB dongle was a different story, but I got it working in the end.

That's the #Dillo browser running in the foreground!

@jk the reason there are different distros is they meet different needs.

RHEL: corporate linux

Fedora: unpaid dev for rhel

Arch: true rolling, minimal package changes from upstream

#Slackware you are expert, want vanilla upstream, patrick v. BDFL

#Debian install once run forever. Really. Sid/testing semi-rolling

Ubuntu: swahili for "can't install debian"

#TinyCore 26 MiB full OS install to RAM. Really.

#Alpine very groovy tech

Mint: new user choice 1

SLED/SUSE: Not rh, w/rpm

And so on
