Suggest: Distro(Using max 50MB) whose only purpose would be to run vmplayer


Hello All

I have systems with 256MB.

I want to have a linux OS whose only use would be to start VMPlayer. Win XP/2000 would be run in VMPlayer. All the operations will be done in the be guest OS. The only work of linux os would be to boot up, start VMPlayer.

So I need a very thin linux distro with GUI which would not use more than 50MB at any point of time.

Thats not possible, X-server alone takes up more then 50mb not including vmware player or other things you will need to use vmplayer.
