[ale] looking for a very lightweight distro

[Richard Bronosky]

You can download a 10MB (!!!) ISO of TinyCore Linux to run in a
VirtualBox VM. It boots in less than a second! Once booted you can use
its built it package manager to install a few packages and then choose
"Burn USB Drive" to create a thumb drive you can boot from. I would
suggest pulling the drives out to save power. Using a P2 is likely to
cost a lot more in energy in 1 year than you would spend on an SBC.
