Anyway, have a look at http://womp.sourceforge.net for that small Linux install.

dug, its an operating system! What screenshot would you take of Linux or XP, I bet they are not the operating system either, but rather some app running on the O/S

qnx is for serious applications, like a heart monitor in a hosital, something that you want to switch on, it and it work for the next 10 years without failing.

The sort of applications you will find this in are medial, military etc.

If all you want are pretty screenshots, then you are looking for application software, not operating systems. Theres not really any good screenshot of the memory manager shuffling freed blocks, or the scheduler interrupting a process to serice an interrupt...

Brandon, have you actually tried dashpc? No offense to the authors, but its really not ready any competition yet for Frodo, MC etc...

Haven't tried and don't plan on using it. I saw it in use once, and posted in another thread that I was not impressed. I was just throwing it out there as an option.
