[ale] Dell Ispirion B130 laptop with 2GBdisk and 2GB memory (max)

[Boris Borisov]

He may meant 20GB. Puppy Linux is starting to get fat as well. No offense
here implied. The only advantage us running from USB drive or memory disk
and very comprehensive drivers and firmware collection. But if you tried
latest "quirky" boot up takes forever.

But I guess that is the future OS are getting fat and slow and thankfully
hardware manufacturers are able to put 4-8 cores in chip for next to
nothing.

Slim distro building around busybox is Slitaz. ISO is 50 MB installed on
HDD is around 320. You get desktop file manager browser and web-based
control panel.

But only my opinion.
