• A Modern Operating System in 1.44MBs

  Here's the link to the OS the YouTube video is talking about... http://kolibrios.org/en/ It's been around for a very long time and is actually a fork of MenuetOS... http://menuetos.net Both are very impressive feats of assembly language engineering. - Source: Hacker News / 3 months ago

• MenuetOS: An entire operating system in x86_64 assembly

  Mandatory mention to KolibriOS[0], an open-source fork of MenuetOS. 0. http://kolibrios.org/en/. - Source: Hacker News / 7 months ago

• MenuetOS

  > KolibriOS has forked off from MenuetOS in 2004, and is run under independent development since then. All our code is open-source, with the majority of the code released under GPLv2 license. https://kolibrios.org/en/. - Source: Hacker News / 9 months ago

• How can a browser (Firefox, Brave, Chrome, whatever) use 10+ gigabyte RAM???

  Abundance of resources in average machine is making people quite lazy. Just to shock people I tell them to take a look at KolibriOS. Whole OS, with drivers, sound, graphics, software, compiler, debugger and games fits on CD image 39MB. Smallest bootable system is 1.3MB. My phone makes photos that are bigger than that.

• TinyLLama – A Tiny x86 Retrocomputer

  Again, >I'd like to have a grasp of what sort of compatibility this relatively unknown cpu has. I do not plan to run Linux on this. But I might want to run MenuetOS[0], KolibriOS[1], Aros[2], ZealOS[3], to give you some examples. 0. https://www.menuetos.net/ 1. https://kolibrios.org/en/ 2. https://aros.sourceforge.io/ 3. https://zealos.net/. - Source: Hacker News / over 1 year ago

• Show HN: Brioche – A new Nix-like package manager

  Https://pkgsrc.org/ from netbsd runs on many systems. - Source: Hacker News / 4 days ago

• Installing packages without an internet connection?

  It seems according to pkgsrc.org that pkgin might follow the PKG_PATH environment variable. You're supposed to set PKG_PATH="http://cdn.NetBSD.org/pub/pkgsrc/packages/NetBSD/$(uname -p)/$(uname -r|cut -f '1 2' -d.)/All/", and according to uname(1), -p gives the processor architecture and -r gives the operating system [kernel] release.

• pkgsrc.se is no more :(

  It seems like pkgsrc.org hasn’t got the news yet. Source: over 1 year ago

• Slackware 15.0

  I still have a Slackware install that runs some really old stuff I have. I remember working at AN ISP in the 90s and slack was are secure distro. All the important stuff (authentication, configs, etc.) were stored and served from our 'slack pool'. Funny part is now I do a very basic Slackware install that setup pkgsrc (https://pkgsrc.org) on it so I can really experience the best and worst of times! - Source: Hacker News / over 2 years ago
