Day two on the Linux distro search. As my DELL PC has a hard drive size of only 1.2 Gb (about the size my XP PC had back in '97) the larger distros are JUST TOO BIG. So I did a custom search at Distrowatch for an install of 250mb or smaller and ot some interesting results. Some of these run on a Raspberry Pi.

Opensimulator runs nicely on a Pi in 1 GB and under 8 GB total under Debian Jessie. Its better on a $75 wand board, though. Arms CPUs are pretty slow compared to even a very basic Celeron.
