I use a highly unknown operating system. Are there others like me?

Try Puppy Linux, version Precise 5.7.1 (156Meg iso) or version Slacko 5.6 (165Meg iso). Install a complete development system (~150Meg iso) and build all the apps you want from source.

Puppy even has support for ubuntu (precise) /slackware (slako) packages.

There was a thread about Linux distros about 18 months ago, search is your friend. I have a system with Puppy on it, and it works well. Remember the RaspPi people are 4gb cards, so lots of small distros will work.

Slax is so small it can run on a 256 MB flash drive.

What about apps?

I use Linux myself (Arch), but the highly unknown part of my computing is my window manager: Awesome. It's a small, configurable tiling WM.

That's why whem people talk about "linux," unless they are talking about the terminal, I will be thinking something very different.

I recommend that you install linux. Something small and light, like $@#$@#$@#$@# Small Linux, Tiny Core, or Puppy. That will problably do everything that Hiku does, and more.

Just my $0.02

Build from source, unless there is a package manager available (I think there is a package manager of some sort in puppy.).

Does Tiny Core come with a development system? does Small Linux?

Yes there is. And one of those packages is a complete development system.
