I have built Linux systems which fit in 8MB of disk space (along with
the GUI). Google around for "NevyOS".
Building a tiny Linux system isn't what worries me, it's the probable
high resource consumption of Pharo which is scary.
Would Pharo be able to run in the limited compute resources offered by
low cost computers like the Raspberry Pi?

try the TCL + Pharo stuff. It is simple and easy to hook up.
Tiny Core gets it down to around 20 MB for a bare bone linux + Pharo
can be similar to Android if one goes down the path.

Hello,
While I am still waiting for my copy of the PBE, I would like to
initiate work on a project (along with friends).
The idea is to build a minimalist Linux based system which would
boot up
straight into a full-screen Pharo environment.
The system itself would be single user, consisting of not more than
a
Linux kernel, a few system utilities (busybox?), X (KDrive?) and
Pharo
(vm + image + ...).
Would like to know if it's some how possible to control external
programs from within Pharo, essentially shell scripts for network
setup,
etc.
Thanks,
