Hi. Several days ago there was a thread on using a streamlined standard Linux distribution. These days I have been fiddling with the new Debian Lenny version (still beta, but it seems not for long). A "no frills, no X" install with vi, aptitude and a few other rescue tools fits comfortably into about 300 Mbytes on an old USB pendrive. Setting a maximum of 512 MBytes for a basic cluster node setup seems feasable for some applications. Boot time from GRUB to login prompt is 22s on a 6-year-old Celeron laptop. And no - no OpenOffice on this one! ;-) Cheers, -Alan -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...
