Hands down parted magic for me.

I suppose it would be the Arch live CD for me (technically a fully fledged distro.... but then I'm betting parted magic gets classed as that as well... it comes down to definitions of mini-distro

), as that's the one I use the most for anything that requires booting from cd/usb

Slitaz. When 3.0 comes there'll be Xorg, Openbox, all the default applications (including Firefox) in an iso under 35MB.

< 150mb i would say. Parted magic is 75mb.

Not looked at slitaz for ages, just downloaded slitaz cooking and it has openbox, firefox and I think xorg, running it in virtualbox.

Think I'm going to install it on my netbook later.
