Either pxe netboot or usb or installable. Immuttable or not. Ramfs. With a host selector or fully auto login ?

Ultra light 16 to 128mb storage 64-128mb ram. Or “full sized”

And lastly, something like that, but that would run on a proxmox host.

    It’s probably plenty for vnc or spice though. I had a 486 with 8mb of video RAM that could do 1024x748 display resolutions…

      no you can’t. That would require 1.6mb of ram for a single frame. In reality you need lots and lots of frames with hardware decoding plus network overhead.

      Not to mention that CPU would be way to slow to run anything but the bare Linux kernel (also the kernel requires 8mb)

      Edit: I misread. I thought you were talking about computer memory not video memory. That makes more sense. Although your 30 year old CPU isn’t going to be running VNC or Spice any time soon. (Your welcome to prove me wrong)
