What's the lightest Linux distro possible?

• businesscard-linux

  29 1,770 0.0 Makefile

  A Buildroot distribution small enough to run on my business card

Business Card Linux runs on an 8 MB flash card. Its main use case is literally embedding it in a business card.

• PandABlocks-rootfs

  1 2 5.5 Shell

  Root filesystem build with tools for building zpg packages

  

Busybox + Linux. Examples are buildroot and PandABlocks-roots based on dls-rootfs. A minimal build can be around 1 or 2 MB, though if you want to go smaller you need to look at using ulibc instead of gnu libc.

• InfluxDB

  www.influxdata.com sponsored

  Power Real-Time Data Analytics at Scale. Get real-time insights from all types of time series data with InfluxDB. Ingest, query, and analyze billions of data points in real-time with unbounded cardinality.

  

• rootfs

  2 2 2.5 Makefile

  Linux root file system builder in the spirit of buildroot (by dls-controls)

  

Busybox + Linux. Examples are buildroot and PandABlocks-roots based on dls-rootfs. A minimal build can be around 1 or 2 MB, though if you want to go smaller you need to look at using ulibc instead of gnu libc.
