Anyone else remember DSL (Damn Small Linux)? It also ran off a 1.44 MB floppy and did it a very long freaking time ago. I knew a guy that used it on a really old laptop to run his home DNS/DHCP services. You know, back when a "homelab" was only a think for ultra nerds.

However, few of those are full-featured, 32-bit, and GUI-driven operating systems that can fit in a single floppy, with some modern conveniences to boot. Enter the upcoming HamsterOS, set for release in November. HamsterOS is seemingly targeted at using PCs from the 386/486 era, along with DOS software. After loading from the floppy disk, it'll present a user interface with most every commonly used utility: a notepad, image viewer, calculator, file finder, drive icons, and a window manager. The file browser should have up to five windows once, complete with per-type icons.
