General Discussion / Compact version of Linux to use in a virtual machine with Pale Moon
« on: November 28, 2019, 10:06:19 am »
I'm looking for a compact version of Linux to use in a virtual machine. I must be able to use the Pale Moon web browser in it. (Don't waste your time singing the praises of other browsers.)
What do I mean by 'compact'? Probably 300MB to 500MB download size. 700MB download size at the outside.
What VM software am I going to be using? Probably VirtualBox. I'm aware from previous experience that some Linux systems run badly in VirtualBox. The uncontrollable mouse pointer is a particularly common problem.
What guest system am I going to be using? At the moment an older Mac system (don't waste your time telling me to update it); later possibly Windows (not sure what version).
