super lightweight window manager

Tested on Lenovo T61 but when it boots the speakers produce a very loud static sound.

Perfect OS for any minimalist.

Increíblemente rápido, con todo lo básico, lo probé con 64 MB de RAM y 30 MB de disco, funciona fantástico, nunca vi un SO de ventanas con esas capacidades y tan rápido.

Looks very promising, at least from distance, since it failed to properly boot on my Thinkpad X61s - no GUI, some errors about no mouse and -1957461975492 (or something similar) bit depth so it couldn't connect to X. I used core2USB to install the ISO to a small 16MB USB stick and booted from that. Maybe that was the reason, but it should be OK, because core2USB was made for TinyCore. I would really like to try it out and see it succeed in the long run. Tinycore is cool, but Nanocore could be 'IT'. Although I think maybe spreadsheet, text editor and maybe somehing else should be optional downloads and proper web browser should be included, by default, with flash support. I do love Dillo - it's compact, elegant and hacked version has frames etc, but it just doesn't cut it in our current web centered reality, where there aren't too many basic, html websites left in the world (I wish there were). Small modern browser (maybe something like QtWeb, forked from it, or something forked from links2, although it's almost as old as Dillo) would be what's missing.
