"Sure. If I had a heavily restricted system, I would look at LEDE a.k.a. OpenWRT." That'll be my last resource, it is so easy to build my source code in Debian than in OpenWRT which wrapped the native Linux build system into its own build system, someone might like it, but I would prefer an open e

Quoting lsore...@csclub.uwaterloo.ca: I would be impressed by a Debian install in less than 250MB storage space. It would have to be rather minimal. Even running apt-get update to pull the list of available packages easily grabs 40MB disk space in my experience. We're working on an embedded sy

Hi, it depends on what programs you have running. I remember having a headless Jessie server running ssh with just 55MB memory usage a while ago. Also people have been using custom Debian rootfs images with the LicheePi Zero board that has 64MB of RAM. I don't know about the storage requirements.
