Run Pharo on top of Tiny Core linux total of about 50+ MB and you would have what you wish..

This can be more akin to Android on mobile if we all wish.. a complete ecosystem with multi VM pharo running on top of a stripped down modular linux.

Pharo will be the UI / kind of riding on top of a thin WM.

This a very interesting topic.
Some time ago I was taking a look at a Tektronik flyer I found on the
Internet and seems that in those days, the concept of Smalltalk was that it
completely replaced the OS. Or perhaps is more accurate to say that
Smalltalk was the OS and the Development Environment.
I would love to see some kind of Pharo OS with applications inside Pharo.
The OS could be done using the Linux Kernel and some GNU tools. Now I bet
that for this project would be perfect to have a 64bit VM, isn't it?

I'm too was looking to read pdfs, read and manage email, surf the web, etc.
