    No one mentioned Bunsenlabs or Crunchbang Linux here, but they aren’t really that obscure.

    I see no one has mentioned Bedrock Linux yet. Not sure though how others would rate its ‘obscurity’ though. It’s definitely a standout among distros.

    The first one that came to mind was fli4l (Floppy ISDN for Linux). Originally a distro of German origin that fit on a single floppy disk to turn a 386 or 486 PC into a router for ISDN connections. Last I looked it’s still actively worked on.

    There are probably tons of more obsuce ones. But this is one I actually used.

    (Since someone already mentioned bedrocklinux, I’ll try harder)

    … Try putting the Ironclad kernel in Exherbo. ;D

    There was this distro that stuffs everything of a package in one folder, instead of /usr/lib & co. What was it called again?

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).

Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word “Linux” in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.
