Hi all!
I new in here, and I want to install a small system into my old PC.
Intel Pentium II (533MHz) 256MB RAM
Ethernet
Serial mouse
Nvidia VGA (AGP) 64MB

So I want to write programs in terminal based editor, I was found Oh my zsh. It seems be good.
I want to use micro assembler language.
Write program in C,C++
I was tried freedos, but the serial mice is bugging in the editors.
I want to program sockets TCP/IP
And I want to write program in Java.
And there was an Allegro 4.2 Gaming programmer lib included to DJGPP. I don't known. Is it possible, run graphics program in terminal mode? Like DOS Borland Graphics.

My Question what I need, and how to can I configure this system?
I have an installed empty TinyCore (minimal).

Sorry for my bad English!

Thank You All!

If you boot to a framebuffer mode, you can use SDL for graphics, for example. See the FAQ for the possible vga= bootcodes.
