    If I wanted to install the most minimal set of the Linux OS (enough to get the system booted and a shell - no other tools) what distro or how would I go about doing this?

    Yet again. You're a stupid whiny little white bitch nerd who ISN'T gay. You're just fucking stupid and it's time that you left Slashdot. Consider this a cleansing. You must meet me in Cleveland Ohio near the rock hall of fame on August 1st. Come alone. I will be there at 1:30PM. When you come all you need to do is yell "I'm the GNAA guy! Bring it on!" And then I will proceed to beat the hell out of you. If you don't show up, you're a fucking pussy ass white boy who isn't gay. If you do show up, then you will get the beating of your life. The other option. Stop posting the GNAA troll. You have been warned.
