More hints for you make a tiny system

I think everyone knows that google now is developing a new OS for netbooks, thats amazing, for a long time no one great company dealed with the open source like google is doing now.Finally i think that a good friend of the open source community is really day after day helping more all this community.Thanks.

But, as stated, the google os will take some time to be released .So lets keep with "our" research keeping the system lightweight when we need it.

I forgot to mention the existence of tinyx/kdrive/smallx in the last post, thats the great reason that im making this post, these names become a good term in search engines.

But, for some reason that i don't known there is no more tiny implementations of the X being in active development.Today we have much more mobile devices than before, and i guess that even in the future there will be one "full desktop" and a "tiny lightweight desktop", so why does they the stopped? ;/.

More one, if you want there is a kind of "wrapper" for gtk widgets to be run under the DirectFB the GTK-DFB.I really wish that project to keep  in active development, that one of few solutions we have for a lightweight desktop.

For me these 2 approaches are welcome, the Xorg when you want a "full" desktop and something well implemented too but lightweight like GTK-DFB.

Last time when i was making a backup of my system i discovered that the system were occupying more space than my data(some books,papers,articles and few softwares in my repository), i was no happy with it, im pretty sure that the computers in 90's or even 80's were good computers to work with basic stuff, and they didn't go beyond some megabytes.

Sometimes we work out of the home, just with a little usb stick that has between 1G to 8G.

I couldn't make a backup of my system because of the space of my system+repository some days ago.

As ever, i focus on quality, that for me, is not size or quantity at all.

Anyway, there is more to implement than to find, so unfortunately if you really need a light desktop environment ... you will have to work ;)
