Smaller linux Distributions?
Is there a smaller, less bloated Linux version available that will run XMMS and other standard Linux programs that is easy to install. I have RH 8 and 9 but i want to install another version on a second hard drive i have to see the differences, to browse the internet and hopefully one that is faster. thanks.

I have yet to burn Damn Small Linux to CD, but at 50 MB it is, well, damn small.
There are also distributions like Peanut Linux and Vector Linux. |
Cool, thanks those look like really cool distros. :D

Slackware

Peanut Linux and Small Linux are good distros if you want to turn an old 386/486 with little RAM into a useable machine. Damn Small Linux is a live distro and therefore does not run off your harddrive.
If you just want a fast, small(er), and useable distro for a machine that is better than a 486, like it's been said twice before... Slackware. |
Dux Linux...optimized for i686's :)

Gentoo

Hi Bajanick
Check out: www.distrowatch.com There's information about all the distros mentioned so far and lots more. 161 Linux distros on the site - 21 discontinued - 140 Wow! |
Debian will install in 96MB. So might get everything < 120 Mb

Thanks for all the help, I wish i had some money to donate for all this help. maybe in the future i will.:D

Personally, I feel anything one is able to give back to the Linux community is repayment for what has been provided.
I also believe that is the way it is intended. |

Damn small linux is pretty easy to use. You just boot and in 5 minutes its up. its pretty fast two. No real need for documentation.
