Anybody heard of it or used it? I thought that DSL was the smallest quickest distro out there... until i found this:

Which is basically a fifth of the size of DSL. Could even boot faster than Express Gate. Looks good, i'll give it a go when i get my DVD drive plugged in. There's also the 7MB Micro Core, which as far as i can tell is the same but without the Window Manager... not sure how that works exactly, but it does look amazingly fast. Discuss.
 
You're missing the point. It's not going to be your main OS (unless you have really old hardware). It's going to be used when you don't want to boot it up just to check your email or something else. I'd imagine it would be quite impressive on the speed though.
