For which we can all be grateful. "General use" is not a
good thing to be desired. One of the biggest reasons I
moved away from Linux was that it was becoming too
mainstream for me.

Not particularly recent, but several years ago I ported
Inferno to the SunSPOT device. As I recall, the version
I was using had 1MB of RAM and 4MB of flash. It took
some squeezing (like severely reducing the size of the
ARP tables), but I did get it running including IPv6 over
the 802.15.4 radio in it.
