Hey @anticapitalx! Nice to see your “super lean” antiX 26 setup. @olsztyn thought that I was able to cut things down; considering my system, I did what I could. In your case you were able to shave even more off your extra lean system; great work!
I knocked a few things off my s6-rc setup today, but this one uses a bit more memory than most of the other init alternatives; still, I have it humming with fewer resources than any other common distro; less than Puppy, for instance. Anyway, here’s what I have going this morning:
