Thought I'd heard the name before wrt lightweight OS stuff...
Anyone in VMware land know how to use a search engine?
Any trademark lawyers short of a couple of thousand dollars?
Anyways, I'm pleased to hear VMware's stuff 'only' needs 300MB.
A decade or more ago, QNX did a demo of OS, networking, and their Photon microGUI.
All running on a generic x86 off a 1.44MB floppy. Yes 1point44MB not 144 MB.
Any guesses as to how big the "attack surface(s)" might be if it was done right?
Don'tcha love progress.
