A few years ago, I found an #OpenBSD based project called "FuguIta" and I basically fell in love with the project.
It was all I wanted from a "minimal usable #BSD" system.
However, I got curious about the process of building the system so I decided to contact the creator of the project.
Guess what? A few weeks later he responded nicely and gave me the full instructions about building a similar system.
I am amazed by how #OpenSource world can be beautiful.
Last night I found the instructions but the page is Japanese (which makes sense) and I have to translate the whole page (which is not a hard thing to do thanks to AI).
But something in my brain tells me it can be a good thing to try to re-create the project with #FreeBSD or even #NetBSD base. I guess it will be a fun holiday project since Nowruz (Iranian/Persian new year) is close and I may have enough time to do this!
