NanoLinux Description

Nanolinux is a very tiny Linux distribution based on MicroCore Linux with busybox.

It uses Nano-X instead of X11. FLTK 1.3.x is used as the GUI toolkit. The window manager is SLWM.

The following applications are included:
Dillo browser
FlWriter text processing program
Sprsht spread sheet program
FLTDJ personal information manager
FlMusic CD player
FlRadio internet radio
FlChat IRC client
Antipaint paint program
Fluff file manager
NXterm terminal emulator
Flcalc calculator
FlView image viewer
Fleditor
Games: Tuxchess, NXeyes, Checkers, Blocks, Mastermind, Sudoku
Mount tool, system statistics
Software package download and install utility
NTFS support
Grub package for hard disk install
OSS sound, Truetype fonts, UTF-8 support

Nanolinux requires a 486 processor and 64 MB RAM to run.
If 64MB are available no swapfile is required.

Nanolinux runs completely from RAM. So after booting you can remove the Live CD and use FlMusic to play music CDs.

That NanoLinux distro looks cool. According to Wikipedia it only takes 14 MB of disk, like something from the late 80s and early 90s. The next time I get my hands on a working antique IBM compatible computer from the 1900s, I'll be sure to run it from a Live CD to see what happens.

My inclination would be to answer "No.", but instead I'll post "Not by a beginner."
If the beginner has Windows® experience, then to make their environment user-friendly the beginner should install Linux Mint or Zorin which can be configured to run the compiler.

Do not forget that you can still buy 400MHz x86 cpu's, brand new. Many embedded projects use x86 instead of ARM...
