I too saw this. Was able to run it on 256M RAM on VirtualBox. Pretty compact (thanks to lofi compression) and usable distro. I plan to have this guy installed on a 100M partition on my USB stick - would be useful in disaster recovery situations.
A few other notes: * dtrace didn't work. Missing symbol `kas in unix (/usr/lib/dtrace/procfs.d) * There was no mdb. If space is a constraint, I would much prefer to have mdb instead of emelfm or dillo. * The ext2fs and ntfs drivers are available by default - nice :-) * And the biggest surprise of them all: I run XMMS and look at the Input Plugins - Lo and Behold libmpg123.so ! If Russia is exempt to US patents, I would very much like BeleniX to become Dazbog (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dazbog) ;-) Cheers, Ananth Anil Gulecha wrote: > Hi All, > > A new OS distribution called Milax has turned up.
