Gentoo could be classified with Peanut Linux and Damn Small Linuxas it
can be downloaded in only 50MB. However, this is more like a netowrk
install than anything else, as you must download your kernel, portage
tree, and I've
also seen a distro that fit on a floppy and turned your box into a
firewall without asking.<br>

I always do a custom install. Its normally at the bottom as a check box (I<br>could be getting blind in my old age though). That aside.. there is no<br>binary for it (tuxracer) I checked all the disks.<br><br>Suse10 can be downloaded. Look for the Eval version. Its not time limited or
