I don't know what that means.  BasicLinux is a self-contained
operating system.

BasicLinux does not look for anything.  There are no automatic
"wizards" that do things for you.  It is up to you to configure
things.

Linux has its own TCP/IP stack.  It is not designed to use
"open connections".

And they are both ten times bigger than BasicLinux and 
require far more resources.  BasicLinux is designed to 
be small (*much* smaller than Damn Small).  BasicLinux 
has no room for "user-friendly" wizards that automatically 
do everything for you.
