I like to have a few lightweight distros on hand because I enjoy restoring my old computers. I decided to seed these distros from the official torrents and became sort of addicted to doing it.

The most popular torrents seem to be MX Linux XFCE and Mint Ubuntu XFCE. MX Linux is at 20.2 in less than 10 days. I am wondering if there are any very small distros I haven't heard of.

Please a comment and tell me your favorite distro under 4g. I will go and try to find the torrent on their website.

I've never tried MX XFCE. It seems really popular.

I've never heard of FreeDOS. EDIT.COM doesn't link to anything, I've never heard of that.

    FreeDOS is a free MS-DOS compatible operating system. EDIT.COM was a commonly used editor on MS-DOS and can be run under FreeDOS. I was making a comparison with Floppinux being a bare bones OS with a basic editor (vi).

    Actually, the original incarnation of EDIT.COM was as the alter ego of QBasic, so that was literally a BASIC editor, but that's more a fun fact than a selling point.
