Hello! I'm working to archive as many small Unix-Like distributions as possible.

The last questions on this forum based around small Unix-Like distributions dates back to 2010 at the earliest that I have found. Using these threads and other sources, I have a decent list of different distributions.

If anyone knows of new/active tiny Linux distribution projects please post them here as well. My only stipulation is that people do not post puppy Linux files or floppy geared distributions. I have already went through ibiblio.org, linuxlinks.com, and livecdlist.com.

Many have dissipated, be it through the project website shutting down, or their hosting mirror no longer providing service. Regardless of the age of the project, storage of an ISO of the final releases is the goal.

Anyone who has an ISO file to send me, please use the online service Wikisend (Choose the top result on most search engines), along with the name of the distribution and the ISO size in megabytes. If you find a link such as an FTP server please send me the direct link instead. Thanks!

If anyone has the above, and any information on them, please share!

Just a pointer... ReactOS isn't a GNU/Linux distribution. It's a clone of Windows NT.

This is true; as well, MarBSD, OpenBSD, and other BSD not being part of the Linux family. Neither is MilaX, it runs the illumos kernel. The list contains distributions that are not Linux.

In this case, the ISO files that I can't find are Linux.

I will update the top post accordingly, thank you for pointing this out.

So if I understand correctly, you don't want any .iso that has anything to do with Puppy? I'm running Tahrpup_64-bit on all my computers, as well as a few in your original list, but my preference is for the Tahrpup. It's amazing, and amazingly easy to use, but maybe that's because I've used some version of Puppy for so many years. My version number now is 6.0.5., after a few updates.
I think this is one of the main branches of Puppy left now that the original developer Barry Kauler is not as active as he used to be. Anyway, just wondering what the status of Puppy is in your list of small distros, and what we can include. Thanks.

I think OpenELEC meets the criteria.
