But, is that a good solution?  I mean, 1.x isn't supported any longer,
isn't it?  I like running small footprint, lean Unix systems (even on
modern hardware).  But everything, including NetBSD seems to be going
to the bloating.  Minix seems to go the same way, also; mainly if you
want to run X, since it needs something as obscene as 256MB RAM atm.

Does somebody know of a modern Unix system which truly focuses on
resources consumption, which is lean and fast?

Cheers,
Ángel
