I hope it helps. There seem to be multiple versions there.

Ah well. It's almost exactly 20Y since it came out. I dareasay that
this was in the relatively early childhood of most people working in
tech support in 2022.

Same here. Well, my home desktop is a Mac, but work and laptops are all Linux.

OK, I can see that. I keep it around for occasionally rooting and
reflashing smartphones and the like, and sometimes for firmware
updates. That is mostly it now.

Saying that, I did reinstall TinyXP on a Sony Vaio P last month and
it's striking how much quicker than Windows Thin PC (the allegedly
cut-down Win7) it is. I haven't got all my drivers and things working
yet, though, and the Intel Poulsbo drivers seem to nix Windows' large
fonts setting, and its tiny letterbox screen really needs that.
