Lightwieght OS... Who wins?

Ive been reading up on a few of the lighter weight Operating Systems, most have mixed reviews, CrunchBang, SliTaz etc, but just wondering what you think on here? Im going to give SliTaz a run now as its only a 30MB d/l. No need to just name lightweight Distros by the way, this is just to get feed back on how well they run, and how light they really are. If ure running a lightweight OS post some shots of your system recourses if you can! thanks

it might be lightweight but its not an Operating System!!

To the guys that are just naming distros, do you have any performance details of these Operating Systems from when you used them, rather than just naming them?

end of.

Guys, i dont mean to sound like an idiot here, or moan, thanks for the input already, but can some you read the 1st post, Its purely a thread to see how lightweight the lightweight os' are, not just naming the desktop managers or just naming operating systems as most of us know pretty much all of them, but not everyone has had a chance to run them to see how they run and who they use up or save on system resources, which was the reason i was asking for screen shots etc, not just for me but anyone that was thinking of sunning something lighter on there system too.
