It's nice to have a minimal linux distro (50MB!!!) in your wallet on a business card cd.
Based on debian (so you can use apt-et to get additional packages)
Very nice and complete minimal distribustion

nice topic. i'm concidering on instaling DSL on 486 but i got to first find a HDD for it , i wanna use it as a server so DSL would do fine becouse it does use fluxbox (whi isnt KDE nor GNOME) and doesent need much resourses. So wish me luch , and p.s if anyone has HDD for 486 and dont need it maybe concider on sending it ? Smile

Yeah, DSL is a nice live cd verison of linux based on knoppix; there is also puppylinux which seems to be nice. I personaly havent used any live cds lately, and mainly use Fedora Core 4.

Yeah, there's a lot of Linux distros specifically designed for acting as a server.
Try some of these http://www.frozentech.com/content/livec ... sort=&sm=1

every pc can act as server no matter of the OS Idea

, you just need the right services and daemons, if you are looking for UN*X based OS check this site http://www.linuxlinks.com/Distributions/
