Then welcome to that project :-)

I downloaded a 150Mb installer: XFCE + X Window system + Basic Ubuntu
system. Once it is installed it is easy to remove packages, just using
apt-get. I removed every package related to XFCE. I would like to
remove Firefox too, but then we could find a way to run the
documentation using a native browser.

I think a basic system + X Window + Gambas could be about 50 Mb (may
be a bit more). Not bad if you compare it with the 4 CD set for VB6!

Yes I speak spanish, as you can see I have Spanish accent when talking
english :-)
