There has been quite a bit of talk about mini Linux distro’s
recently so I decided to take a look at some of them. Given the
large number of small distro’s I narrowed my search to only those
less than 200 mb, a live CD, desktop oriented, and those that have
had a release in the last couple of months. After reading a few
reviews and looking at a few of the websites I decided to take a
longer look at Feather Linux.“Why would you want to have a distro that is so small? There are
several reasons: mini distros are faster, they make you evaluate
what you really need in a distro, just because you can, but lastly
and most importantly–because it is just too cool not to have a
complete Linux distribution on a little 8cm CD…!”
