I'm setting here reading and posting this from an operating system that runs completely off of one 1.44 floppy. It has a full posix compliant os layer, a complete graphical user interface, a modem dialer, a tcp/ip stack, a file manager, a text editor, an html 3.2 compliant web browser, and more. I even have updated it with system utilites, a couple of games, and a telnet client. Sort of like minix with a full GUI. Even supports resolutions upto 1600x1200. Accelerated graphics drivers are on their way soon.

hey ... that looks pretty kewl. i don't know though ... does 1.44 megs of space also accomodate a wide variety of blue screens of death? wait, nevermind ... i don't see the M$ seal of approval on it anywhere so i guess that's out of the question. hehehhee seriously it looks pretty rad and i'm dying to get home and download it so that i can scope it out myself.

Ha, that's pretty cool. Couldn't get the network up though.

well i got it downloaded and ran it .... and i totally think it's pretty nifty. i downloaded the network version of it as well as the modem version. the network version wouldn't detect my NIC though. other than that it's definitely worth checking out.
