Puppy Linux	http://www.puppylinux.org/	7143x
Puppy Linux is yet another Linux distribution. What's different here is that Puppy is extraordinarily small, yet quite full featured. Puppy boots into a 48-64MB ramdisk, and that's it, the whole caboodle runs in RAM. Unlike live CD distributions that have to keep pulling stuff off the CD, Puppy in its entirety loads into RAM. This means that all applications start in the blink of an eye and respond to user input instantly. Puppy Linux has the ability to boot off a flash card or any USB memory device (flash-Puppy), CDROM (live-Puppy), Zip disk or LS/120/240 Superdisk (zippy-Puppy), floppy disks (floppy-Puppy), internal hard drive (hard-Puppy) or a network drive to a thin-client. The Puppy Linux project does not provide a package list of included software packages and versions.
Damn small linux	http://www.damnsmalllinux.org/	7117x
Damn Small Linux is a business card size (50MB) Live CD Linux distribution. Despite its minuscule size it strives to have a functional and easy to use desktop.

Its name is due to the presence of two big Xs in his environment: one is the last letter of Unix and the other is the first letter of X-window :-) Supported formats are all formats supported by mplayer, most noticeably DivX and QuickTime but more in general any DVD, VCD, AudioCD, avi, mpeg, ogm, wmv, asf, fli and a few others. MPlayer reads also mp3 & ogg/vorbis files, so you can also use it to play music!
