Yes. I've mentioned it a few times here. It's really slick.

Picture a web/ftp server for static file /web pages. (Mainly for an ftp server that also provides a http access as well)

1.6 megs of code (fits on a superformat floppy), running out of a 4 meg ram disk, with a 1 gig drive as the scratch space for the ftp server.

When the os is copied to a 4 meg dos partition, it boots in something like 30 seconds.

Damn fast, even on a pentium 120/24 megs of memory.
