xbacklight is a real bottleneck, and you can't do continuous slide (at least not on my arch). The direct filewrite version allows smooth sliding, but permissions on the brightness file block non-root users. But, you can enable non-roots to use the direct file-write version by creating udev rules. I ...

If you're curious about how small arch can go, their netboot might be of interest. Iirc, you can get pretty specific about what to include- Netboot images are small (<1MB) images that can be used to download the latest Arch Linux release on the fly upon system boot. It is unnecessary to update the n...

What's Your Non-Puppy Puppy?
I used puppy cuz i wanted an ultra tiny OS with GUI and ease of use. Especially for older machines. My faves were the Lina's, NOP, x-tahr, saluki, and anything else with xfce. Gotta be xfce. Was never into the fatter puppies. However, i grew to find that puppy wasn't quite sufficient: i wanted somet...

The versions above won't work on arch or other standard linux with root/non-root users, cuz file permissions on the brightness file. The version below doesn't have permissions problem-- can run as non-root. It uses xbacklight instead of writing directly to the brightness file. #!/bin/sh BrCur=`xback...

Or, if like me, you don't want to install Pulse, in order to run the OS as slim as possible, then just install a browser that doesn't require Pulse. This 32-bit Opera deb installs ...
