Long time nixers
That project we had going a while back to make a Nixers Linux distro was pretty cool, I thought, but I like OpenBSD more. I had to think of a name for the repo, so I called it DietBSD (like diet libc, it's OpenBSD but on a diet).

The repo is here: http://github.com/kaashif/dietbsd. If you want to try it out, there's an image for amd64 on one of the releases, you can run it using

Code:
$ qemu-system-x86_64 dietbsd-0.0.1-amd64.fs

Or I suppose you could dd it to a USB stick and boot it on your real amd64 machine, but that's probably not worth it.

It doesn't do much at the moment (inits then starts /bin/sh), and I'm looking for ideas. What would be cool to have in an OS? I'm thinking musl libc, maybe sbase and sinit (from suckless.org), but what else?
