Typed Assembly Language—fascinating. But since the software is "All rights reserved," I don't know if it can be used beyond personal use.

As someone living in rural Nevada and served by Dollar General and Family Dollar stores, I agree. I don't see what problems out here would be solved by local cloud computing resources. The snippet provided doesn't go into detail.

Barry Kauler is brilliant, but as he's the main driver behind the project, I worry that the bus factor for EasyOS is 1.

About grml-debootstrap:

The trick is, figuring out the names of the packages you want. :-\ Experiment, and take notes, I guess.

I had a fun experience playing with `grml-debootstrap', GRML¹ being a command-line-oriented LiveCD built upon Debian. Once you’ve booted up, that app installs a minimal Debian instance on your computer. I haven't tried using the stock Debian `debootstrap' utility.

>a decent OS only for low-level devices

Why do people insist on smearing OpenBSD like this? My 2011 ThinkPads run Firefox and LibreOffice just fine. It's not as polished as Fedora, sure, but I never have to reinstall after upgrading trashes grub, which happened to me earlier this year.
