[E3-hacking] Is it possible to install a Desktop Environment into E3 Linux

[David Given]

Android's also way too big! Even the earliest version (I have one on my
desk) needed 192MB. Current versions get a bit uncomfortable in 2048MB..

Linux is really too big for the E3; the OS, even the 10-year-old version
the E3 used, doesn't scale down well that far. Now, if you wanted to port
something like Minix to it...
