If your editor of choice doesn't sport a built-in shell, you may
consider starting a text editor on one virtual console, and a general
purpose shell on another. You'll probably need a simple init (I
recommend a rc script written against a statically compiled /bin/rc)
to allocate the consoles (unles

fair enough; i've never had a need to suspend to disk rather than ram (nor
the capacity, frankly), regardless of what we are calling the

FreeDOS?
In addition to tinycore I'd also consider windows xp. It obviously
depends on what you want to run on it.
And I prefer standby, never have setup hibernation for my laptop.
Please don't use [ $USER = root ]. This is very unclean because the UID-0 user
isn't always called root. Use id -u instead and spread the word. I hate it when

write a lot of text (review coments) over the coming months. I've got
a "spare" old but very small, low weight notebook PC I plan to try and
use. The only requirements I have a
