Thanks for linking to this. It looks like something I've been looking for if I understand it properly. It would be neat to have a barebones OS running on a tiny computer that you could access a simplified internet.

I'm hoping I could find a community interested in.. I don't want to say exactly "low tech" computing but I guess the idea is pretty close. Cheap microcontrollers today are incredibly powerful.

  Alpine Linux, sacc and cgnml as Gopher/Gemini clients. CWM+Urxvt as the only X interface, because Gemini uses Unicode and the framebuffer support is not that complete. Alpine should be installed with a diskless/RAM mode, so there are no FS changes commited unless you do an "lbu commit -d". Once you set up sacc, cgnml, and nsxiv for pictures, (and maybe moc for music) there's nothing much more to save. On hw basis, maybe an RPI B+ with a tiny display. Done.

    Thank you! I'll have to Google some of these terms though.
