Faster than you can say "what are boot times like" from what I remember.

But it's not a practically usable OS, it's more like a study in how far you can get with pure assembly. Though if a text editor is really all you want, it might be good enough.

Might be pretty close to enough with a good ssh client and terminal. It’s probably actually real time which is neat for FOSS.

It was also how far you can go running an entire OS from a diskette. And it was really impressive.
