I was somewhat obsessed with the variety of live CD distributions on offer that I have overlooked the Linux on a low budget and computers both old and new with little and inadequate RAM.
There are many to list but I will mention a handful of them to conclude my investigation of user friendly tiny vinny distributions that I have come across.
1. Geebox come to my mind that is similar to gamebox or media player with needing 0nly 25 MiBs.
2. My favorite is Puppy which is 90 to 120 MiBs and there are over 30 varieties.
The last of which I downloaded was EliteOS (with a commercial presentation included).
It is pretty good.
In the Puppy 5 series, the lupu is another celebrity.
3. Damn Small Linux (the one I use when I am in trouble booting and partitioning) is a beauty on its own with only 50 MiB.
4. Astrumi (120 MiB) is another good one. I think it is a Polish distribution.
The older version cannot recognize LCD monitors.
New ones are coming by the dozens.
5. 4MLinux-Gamer is only 11 MiB and and the standard is 25 MIB.
6. Voyage is only 45 MiB.
7. xPUD a web browser and media player is 65 MiB.
8. The xin-v1 is only 52MiB
9. SliTas
10. Tiny Me
11. Finnix is another
12. WiFiWay small 285 MiB and Standard 408 (Spanish).
13. Minix is 385 MiB.
14. CRUX is 220 MiBs.
15. NimbleX was less than 200 but now is bit fatty and has doubled itself to 400 MiB.
16. Feather Linux is also another flag bearer (like DSL) of small and beautiful Linux.
Then come to the the partition tools, there are many and one does not need a proprietary software to do partitioning (I have dropped MS partition magic for good but it was the one that saved many hours of sleep (sleepless nights before that) in the early days of Linux experience)
17. gparted
18. partmagic
19. pmagic
20. R.I.P. Linux
20 is a magic number for me. In studies of evolution (my personal work) if there are 20 related species in a locality that 20 would circumvent any adverse climatic change at least temporarily but if that figure is 3 the species is critically endangered.
With the same context in time to come Microsoft is an endangered commercial species. may be catering for other planetary systems in space.
The host of Ubuntu derivatives that come as TURNKEY should be the fitting end to my list.
The list is endless and my favorites are Puppy. DSL and Feather Linux.
They are the ones I have used comfortably and on a regular basis and have used in demonstrations to show my prowess.
Sorry guys and girls that I have only mentioned your names only and they are much better than my GoGo.F.O.F. Linux which is still under construction with my workforce on extended Christmas holidays enjoying other Linux for relaxation.
They are allowed to copy any good idea free of charge or copyrights.
It is an understatement when I say that they are the most useful when one (I am in trouble) is in trouble or on low in RAM to do the tit bits (not bits and bytes).
Bye till new year!
