Which OS did Ben mention toward the end, the nearly instant-on one? It sound to my ears that he said “Core OS”, but that’s a container-based infrastructure oriented/orientated operating system. Thanks.
My bet is that he meant Tiny Core Linux.
Thanks.
Thinking about the concept, I recalled that we were supposed to have this as a feature built into the ROMs in our laptops ages ago, courtesy of Device VM’s Splashtop. One or more laptop models had been announced with the feature back in (apparently) 2007, but for the life of me I couldn’t tell you if they actually made it to market. I thought, “Hey, if they did get sold, they’d probably be pretty cheap on eBay now.” But a quick search found none on offer. And here the idea of researching this tidbit of shadowy nostalgia has caused my interest to wane considerably. I think I’ll just content myself to know that it wasn’t something that only happened in an old dream. These days, I count that as a personal win. =]
My HP Mini 110 came with Splashtop, but you couldn’t keep it without Windows being on the system, and there was never an update for it.
