I have a spare windows XP desktop that i am doing nothing with, so i was wondering if anyone had made a version of CraftOS as an actual operating system. If so, could you link me to it, if not, it would be amazing if somebody could make this. The computer has 512 mb of RAM and a pretty slow processor, it struggles with most XP functions but CraftOS is something it could handle.

if there is no CraftOS then it would be great if anyone could tell me of a similar alternative

theres no craftOS for actual computers >_>
install java and ccemu and you can emulate the environment of computecraft

Hmm, you could probably make a linux distro or something… just have it auto boot into minimalist window manager and start up CCEmu… someone a bit more skilled with low level linux modification could whip up an iso in a few hours.

yeah, i considered modding Linux, but i decided to check for alternatives before wasting my time, well this query seems to have confirmed i'll be doing this myself
