I love lightweight distros. QNX had a "free as in beer" distro that fit on a floppy, with Xwindows and modem drivers. After years of wrangling with Slackware CDs, it was pretty wild to boot into a fully functional system from a floppy.

yeah but what can you do with free QNX? With tinycore, you can install many packages. What packages exist for QNX?
