The T2 project is the built-kit behind Puppy Linux - http://barryk.org/t2/
Needs a lot of tweaking to make it work. I recommend playing with it at lonely winter nights.

Haiku
Haiku OS is a neat little system, but there are still quite a few bugs to work out.
Their browser- Web Positive- is almost fully functional. It doesn't have flash support, but plays html5.
They've also ported Qupzilla, Netsurf, and Links.
They have a few games, and a lot of multimedia software- including VLC.
They have some interesting software. They have their own p2p network, a software installer,a package manager, and some interesting graphics software as well.
I can use my Linux drives from Haiku. It's not surprising since a lot of Linux (and BSD) software is available in the repos.
Like I said before, though, it is still a bit buggy. I can do a lot more with it than I could two years ago, but there have also been a few forced reboots.
Still, I have to say I'm impressed in the improvements they've made over the last six months.
Barring any major hangups, I would not be surprised to see a beta release within the next six months to a year.
*EDIT* I should add that the hangups seem to be software related, and could have more to do with poor software development or bad porting of the software from Linux or BSD. I have had 12 hours uptime on this system doing basic file work, listening to music, and browsing, so the system is usable for your everyday (non-production) use.
I think they could use any of you guys and they would probably be beta in a month at most.

Y'all might like this
https://github.com/ReturnInfinity/BareMetal-OS
Not a distro of course, but it has a rudimentary coreutils, build-system, its own libc, and its own hadoop-like FS. Haven't tried it myself.

Re: Distros of interest
It's VERY comprehensive. seems to love doing a ton of stuff anytime anything happens from the nice dialog boxes... all over the console or ssh. (which one can jump out of with C-c)ChefIronBelly wrote: ↑Mon Feb 05, 2018 2:37 amLightweight justice for your single-board computer

Took me ages to get the network going, the ethernet wouldn't work which is really weird. I tried a bunch of stuff but it wasn't having it. ended up using a wireless dongle which worked first time.
I'm trying to set the correct time now and losing the plot to be honest, stuff that normally works just doesn't.
lots of options in the dialogs, quite user friendly to a point.
quite tempted to get alpine_arm on this Pi TBH.
The other thing which was weird is the HDMI was all wonky on console - still is I plumped for NTSC as it was so grainy I just had to guess :D
after all that it DOES have a wifi hotspot runt though which is what I was intending to do with it...let's see how that goes. surely doesn't matter if the date if a week out :D
OK shit it needs an ethernet plugged in for the 'in internet' to function as an AP :D oh dear.
