Smallest operating system with GUI under 5 MB
Almost all popular operating systems are nowadays designed to fit in a DVD and thus crosses 700MB mark. Of course there are few exceptions. Today we are going to see such an exceptional case, an operating system with graphical user interface, few general purpose applications and games all packed in as a 5 MB ISO. It has a good desktop, text editors, network manager, a text-only browser and supports NTFS, Ext2/3.
KolibriOS is a very small free and open source operating system written completely in assembly language. It just needs 8MB RAM to run and takes only few seconds to boot up.
It's really worth the download as you get a good number of applications, games and a effective GUI in just a small file size. Small Linux distributions are handy as they can help to retrieve data from the hard disk of crashed systems, or just for performance testing of computers. Since this one is a decent operating system that only takes a very small space from your Flash drive, it's really worth having. Who knows, one day it can prove itself as your life saver.
