There are some very small versions of Linux that load quickly, particularly if you don't need GUI support. For example, BusyBox is a "stripped to the bones" Linux that finds its way into many (if not most) 'net appliances, such as modems and routers. I don't know if SIMH will run on it, but there are many other "small" Linuces. FWIW, Chuck
