Swift Linux
I have no hesitation of recommending Taylor Swift Linux
It has 4 versions. It is about 1,4GB. My only worry is it does not have Abiword but it has synaptic package manager and Gdei Installer.
It is based on Mx Linux. Its installer is bit difficult but it is graphic with instructions to follow.
I used Mepis Linux to learn formatting and installing many Linux derivatives in the past.
SimplyMepis has graphical installer and I downloaded two images with some difficulty but they work fine as usual.

It looks like the home site of the Swift Linux has been attacked few days after this comment and I could not download a single file (Image).
This is why I stated that one should host images with linuxtracker as torrent file or ones own site as torrents.
Even Linux tracker was attacked in this modern digital age if one is not careful.
They said they are rising from the ashes of phoenix and and they surely did.
One mad digital guy / girl with corporate backing can do enormous damage while most of the average guys and girls do wonderful things with digital (code and programming) fingers and code soup.
I once thought writing and blogging on Live CD and Linux are a waste of time but now I realize what a load of image building I have done for them without even knowing any one of them.
Keep up the good work.
This world has lot of good guys and only a few bad and ugly guys (I mean both sex).
I am a fan of Mepis and AntiX.
AntiX is lighter weight version of Mepis with lot of packages and works with old computers with low RAM.
I have been looking for weird form of Linux derivatives and came across Swift Linux some time ago.
After about 40 tries (download stream abruptly stops without completing) I managed to get a Diet Linux and Taylor Swift with music at start up.
This was 0.0.2 version and I gave up because it was only live and no install.
I could not get the other images and then suddenly another version came.
The 0.0.3 but could not download with similar failure as above.
However my interest did waxed and waned but when I saw Distrowatch including it as a viable option I decided to get the latest version.
It was not there in Distrowatch or Softpedia and typed home of Swift Linux.
Presto!
Big jump the version is 0.1.1 and I am currently attempting to download.
Their vision and goal are both honorable.
When Microsoft leave you high and dry, one need not throw the computer away or buy new one.
Swift will take over swiftly the vacuum left.
They have included OpenOffice which I have begun to hate now.
Hope they will include LibreOffice in future issues.
Please go and visit their site and I wish them good luck and hope they will leave the image at linuxtracker to prevent my agony of downloading.
I will come back with a honest report if I am successful in downloading it.
