Linux on an ESP32(olimex.wordpress.com)

I’ve always been a fan of extremely small Linux installs. Back when I first started using computers, I didn’t have access to great hardware. In the early 2000s I was using Pentium133 and eventually a Pentium III based system and I remember running floppy Linux (live boot off a floppy disk) and DSL (damn small Linux) in attempts to maximize the performance of the hardware I had.

Running Linux on a tiny ESP32 board just blows my mind!

I remember using one called crunch bang on my 1.6 ghz Sempron machine.

Crunchbang was my JAM around 2010ish. Ran it on my old Thinkpad T23 and then T42. What a great project. I went looking for it a couple months back but it’s no longer maintained. I’ve just switched back to Arch and I’m happy enough with that.

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).

Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word “Linux” in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.
