BasicLinux is a mini-version of Linux that boots from HD, FD or CDrom and runs in a 4meg ramdisk. It was assembled mostly from bits and pieces of Slackware 3.5. BasicLinux contains the powerful bash shell, the easy pico editor, and a variety of useful utilities. With BasicLinux you can dial your ISP and browse the web; or use telnet, ftp or fetchmail. BasicLinux happily networks via ethernet, parallel port, or serial port. You can even use it as a router/firewall.
