Here is a little secret about Linux. You can preinstall it on a hard drive and then just put them in the PC you want. It doesn't do hardware detection during install. You can literally put that linux HD into any computer and it will work.
Windows does this too. i changed my entire setup from an EVGA SR-2 mobo (socket 1366, old) to a VIII Hero with a 6700k. Booted from the same install of Windows just fine. Although, I would not recommend doing this all the time as drivers can conflict/cause errors.
It's not exactly the same. Most Linux distros literally doesn't install any custom drivers during the install process. It comes with a set of generic drivers preinstalled that just work on 90% of hardware. After installing it, you can optionally install device specific drivers for increased performance, like Nvidia or ATI drivers, but you don't have to. (Unless you have a broadcom wifi chip. Due to legal reasons, broadcom drivers can't be preinstalled.)

I used to have one of these laptops. It was a Christmas gift. I sat it on the floor, and my sister tipped a chair onto it. Still thinking of a way to get back at her for that (this was back in like 2010).
A lot of netbooks were released when Vista was nearing the end of its life and 7 was nearing release. That was the key used as the super key on lots of keyboards. XP was installed on these tiny netbooks due to the relative slowness of the atom processors and the limited amount of memory. I happen to collect and restore keyboards and typewriters from all parts of history, so it's something I just happen to know a lot about.
trizm 6ix 六 The ports on the computer are most likely USB 2.0, but the floppy drive end (Slave device) only uses USB 1.1, and that's what it's reporting. A floppy drive won't reach higher speeds than 12Mbit/sec, so they didn't bother building in a more expensive USB interface chip with USB 2.0 support
No, that was the floppy drive's name, like a hard drive is displayed as e.g. "SEAGATE ST0000" (Not a real drive model btw.), so the drive itself said it is USB 1.1, not the BIOS
I just had a realization that I'm watching a video of one man's journey to install Lubuntu onto a Dell laptop on a Dell laptop that I just recently installed Lubuntu on. Great work.
The coolest things I have watched, I've had drusga 1 anxiety, skeptical,stereotype, it's not even a pleasant experience,.it's not even supposed to do this
the problem is depending on who you ask the human brain can hold anywhere from hundreds of gigabytes to petabytes, so not without lots of data compression. i'd love for my memories to be compressed
+Druaga1 , The reason Lubuntu mounted those "2" (really 1) partitions is because Ubuntu by default mounts a swap partition if it can find one. It's basically your virtual memory and space for hibernation and suspend. Just unmount 'em in gparted.
I was sitting there, screaming "that's an extended partition! You don't unmount extended partitions, let alone swaps!" An extended partition contains more partitions inside it. In this case, you had a Linux Swap partition inside it which was "mounted." To "unmount" a swap, you use "swapoff /dev/whatever" Since the swap was on and the swap was contained in the extended partition, you couldn't delete it. :(
+Dr. W. D. Gaster recently I've been having far more issues with Windows 10 than I have with Linux, especially with Windows dropping support for older hardware, at work out of 40 PCs Windows 10 only fully supports 4 of them, 20 only have legacy support and the rest aren't supported at all.
I did not need to know that, but okay. I personally no longer have access to a computer (for reasons), but if I were able to run a computer OS on this (unrootable) Android device (without it being really slow), then I would run Linux, probably Debian.
I was given an ancient 2007ish Fujitsu laptop with XP on it a while ago. Maxed the RAM (2 whole gigabytes) even upgraded the CPU to the fastest it'd run (Pentium dual core something). Of course, I added an SSD. Several distro's of Linux later I was thoroughly depressed with how crap the thing ran, and how impossible it was to get all the hardware to actually work. Eventually I gave it a spare Windows 7 key and got the free 10 upgrade and now it runs perfect all the hardware etc etc. It's even sort of fast-ish. Helped a friend out getting her XP era netbook running again. All she wanted was something running iTunes to sort some crap out on her iPhone. Cheap Windows 10 key and the thing works fine, in fact faster than XP was. Didn't put an SSD in it even though I'd have liked to. She didn't want to spend any more money than necessary on it, which was fair enough. Linux I'm sure is great, but I guess you really have to persevere with it to get the best (or indeed anything) out of it.
Man, you and your SSD's. I can't even afford an SSD let along a basic HDD. I'm rocking the 160GB Seagate and an 80GB Toshiba Apple HDD from a MacBook. I'm dying to get a 500GB or at least a 250GB HDD.
Ive installed Kubuntu on my Developer mode blocked school Lenovo N21 Chromebook. Then Installed wine to install java, only to run a cracked version of Minecraft. I love your channel and would love to see you try to do this challenge! BTW: I used TLauncher for the free minecraft(which didn't run too terribly with a USB mouse)
Yeah that netbook definitely has something wrong with it, and even if it worked it would be less useful than a cheap android tablet for youtube and light web browsing. You can try putting ChromiumOS or CloudReady on it though, it would be interesting to see how well they'll run on it.
I have not finished the video yet BUT an SSD (yes "an") will give great performances improvement even on SATA 1, not because of the bandwidth but because of the latency (around 15ms for a regular hard drive, around 0.1ms for a regular SSD : yeah 150 times faster

My relatively new acer aspire v15 nitro also has to have the motherboard removed to upgrade the ram, or install an m.2 ssd.... Also to access the motherboard I have to remove the keyboard because access is from the top instead of the bottom. Pretty annoying overal soo yeah... Pretty sure there are worse laptops to service :P
The general rule is to add double the swap space for the amount of RAM that you have. In my case I upgraded my two old netbooks from 1 gig of RAM to 2 gigs of RAM and I made a 4 gig swap partition of swap space on each netbook. So if you still own your netbook add one more gig of RAM and create a 4 gig swap partition. It should run faster.. Fast enough to run Supertux which is a super game along with Supertux Kart.. 😀👍 Keep the awesome videos coming (^_-)/
longlines At first Windows 10 is a pup (potentially unwanted program) because it installs without permission, just automatic. After that Windows 10 is spyware. #wehaveawindows10defender
after all years of installing and reinstaling all kind of flavors, actually i can say, if you gonna play games on linux, please, pleeeeeease, install the drivers because if you don't, you gonna think linux is crap and reinstall again.
gerard s Yup. That'a whats bothering me the most at Linux related videos. They never put even a bit more effort in it than running through the installer, and say it's crap -_-
@@resneptacle Because it is. Thoroughly installed EndeavourOS a year ago, after trying some other distros and not liking them. Drivers installed, everything good to go, right? No. Some crucial games didn't work. Those that did ran worse than on Windows with the exception of Minecraft Java - but now that I have a Radeon card it runs as well as it did on Linux. Some crucial programs didn't work, which was the dealbreaker. SSD trimming not on by default (what the fuck even?). Automounting not a thing. Very arbitrary workarounds required for the simplest thing. Community is godawful, uncooperative, and elitist no matter where I went - Discord, forums, Matrix, etc., no matter, they were all the same. So I went back to Windows 11, and I continue to be the happiest I've ever been with a desktop OS. Loonix HAS A LONG WAY TO GO in both the community & compatibility standpoints, before it becomes a viable desktop OS.
Reminds me of all the crud I tried to do with my MSI netbook. I've tried XP, Ubuntu, Linux Mint, Android x86, and now it's running Windows 10. I even tried it with an SSD at one point. I haven't found anything I can really do with it currently, but it works pretty well compared to this video. :)
HAHA browsing on less than a gig of ram thats just not happening chrome itself takes up half of that and facebook takes up twice that with the modern system of "webapps" thats just not going to happen
Before mke2fs creates an ext4 filesystem, it TRIMs the entire partition. Perhaps it is crashing because the SATA controller in this model doesn't like the TRIM command.
I recommend a Thinkpad X220 for this kind of thing. They are cheap and readily available on Ebay (Plus they have doors for both RAM sticks and Drives). Not to mention, it has an excellent keyboard
"'I'm also noticing I start to mimic the speaking style of whatever youtuber i happen to be watching at the time of making any particular video" As someone who hasn't watched you before, it reminds me of LGR. Haha.
Simos Katsiaris Not really, TH-cam works okay with Firefox on Arch Linux+Openbox on Intel Celeron 900MHz x1 and a Gig of Ram. And if you use smtube and mplayer, there are no laggs or stutters whatsoever
I think all you need to do is reinstall the SSD into a surrogate computer, completely wipe and reformat it, reinstall Lubuntu, then reinstall the SSD into the netbook and the crashing issue should be resolved. Honestly, when you tried to cancel the installation part way through I cringed, but most of your other stuff was pretty logical and good thinking. Generally you'll be fine moving an SSD with an installation of Linux from one computer to another, even if it isn't optimized for that other computer, unless of course you're mixing CPU architectures (although x86 vs 64bit will likely cause issues, especially if you install 64-bit and try to transfer it to a 32-bit system)
1)Old Linux kerner will not work on Intel ATOM CPUS. Only some new kernel has support for ATOM CPUs. :( 2) Never ever make SWAP on SSD , you will ruin it faster. Install on SSD whit only 1 partition. 3) Install an ARCH distro like Manjaro Netbook Edition that will work on ATOM CPUs and is made for it. 4) you can format a SSD whit other PC in only 1 partition and then install Manjaro Netbook Edition, and then place it in the Netbook , it will work. The ideea is to make the install whit other PC and make the update and hardware install after you put the SSD in the Netbook. 5) Try to make that Netbook faster by adding more then 2 GB of RAM so you can use it. 6) Have fun testing it.
Hell I had an HP Mini and once you took the bottom off the RAM slot was literally right there in your face. I bumped it up to 2GB, slapped in a 128GB SSD, reinstalled Ubuntu MATE, and called it a day.
4:04AM It's bad enough that it is late at night (so early in the morning) and I am hungry because of it, but on top of that, I am able to VIVIDLY imagine the smell of freshly baked muffins...*crying frowie emoji*
I have a HP Mini 110-3100 with the same Intel Atom processor, 1 GB RAM, 250 GB HDD and Windows XP Professional SP3. It runs pretty fine up until now (5 years on going), i'm starting to notice wear-and-tear though. I do browsing on it and **gasp** play games with it! (HL, CS, GTA:VC, GTA:SA (incredibly reduced GTA SA), RA2YR, Manhunt, etc.) and it runs suboptimally but bearable. I still use it up until now.
You can change your hostname by editing /etc/hostname (sudo nano /etc/hostname), also that error when you switched to the console is one you'd typically get from a failing hard disk.
The horrible graphics performance is due to the GMA500 graphics chip, which Intel licensed from PowerVR, so they couldn't release source code that allowed the development of decent drivers for Linux.
SuperTux ran terribly because these Atom Z-series chips have a special snowflake GPU that, as of today, still has no acceleration of any kind under Linux.
RichardG867 PowerVR I think. And they refuse to release any code to support them on Linux. (even MS is giving up on them, they wont be support in future updates to Win 10)
great video. most likey your issue with games and video being slow is that the computer is probably running in software render mode. you should install the gma500 drivers and see if that fixes your issues.
friendly tip. You can button mash the f keys starting right after you hit the power button. its actually what dell and HP tech support have you do. Also, maybe next time try Linux Mint?
Druaga1, you could also try "Windows 7 Aero Blue". I have the same kind of netbook, a Samsung N150, also with a 1,6ghz processor and 1GB ram. I also installed an ssd to this notebook, and guess what, it is running nicely with Windows 7 Aero Blue Edition. Maybe something for a next video? (Just for fun, for trying?)...
That feeling when he installed it on another machine and can just boot that on that netbook without doing anything, but he install it again anyway, because he doesn't know. I somehow enjoy the show.
i know im a bit late for this... but netbook hdds are thinner than laptop 2.5" hdds, thats why the ssd included that "bracket".. it is meant to make it fit in a notebook / desktop 2,5" bracket btw.. man, that fail on the disassembly was way too painful
.... netbook hdds and notebook hdds are the same size... desktop hard drives are the ones that are different, 2.5 for netbooks/notebooks and 3.5 for desktops. some ssd manufacturers include 2.5 to 3.5 brackets (unless you order OEM)
nope... i used to think that way until i tried to replace my netbooks 2.5" 250gb hdd with a laptop 2.5" 500gb hdd and it wouldnt close because the standard notebook hdd is like 1,5mm taller. and thats why the ssd in the video fit perfectly in the bracket without the plastic square, which would be necesary in a notebook bracket.
Woot! Dell Mini 10! I still have a Dell Mini 10 (1012 model) that is running Windows 10 on a 120GB SSD. Its actually surprisingly fast. Upgraded to 2GB of RAM (which is significantly easier than the model you have in the video). I originally tried Ubuntu on the netbook, and it didn't run nearly as well as Windows 10. I also experimented using Remix OS, which was cool but still rather slow. Due to the lack of graphics capability, it can't run any Android games, or even TH-cam. But there are some cool tricks to make it work just as well. If you install a Broadcom Crystal HD decoder (only possible in the 1012 model, due to the extra mPCIe slot), and you use MPC-HC as your video player, it can play 1080p videos (H264 only) remarkably well. This needs to be done on Windows 7 or later, due to proprietary drivers. ... I have that same Casio Databank watch, by the way.
I believe that is the specific model netbook that was popular for being very easily Hackintosh-able! Also a few linux notes: Recent Linux refers to SATA disks as SCSI. At 48:10 it was trying to package all the installed software on the previous install to back it up. And you should try Damn Small Linux, it's only 50MB!

Why does it say "Designed for Windows XP" when it has a Windows 7 Style key?
Wow ur right
7 used the same logo from XP keyboards.
Technically it also is a windows XP key. Only thing that strays from XP is the circle around the start key. As an example, look here. goo.gl/DnDXcg
A lot of netbooks were released when Vista was nearing the end of its life and 7 was nearing release. That was the key used as the super key on lots of keyboards. XP was installed on these tiny netbooks due to the relative slowness of the atom processors and the limited amount of memory.

Put an SSD in an Xbox and install Windows 2000 on it (If that's possible)
It might be possible, but the result is a very slow OS. You have to use QEMU from a Linux terminal on the Xbox.

StrongarmSlayer This is what I want.
Windows 2000 can possibly run on the Xbox, because it has 64 MB of Ram.

they're pretty fun, actually. I recently got a 1GHz TiBook, with no charger. I think it works.
The general rule is to add double the swap space for the amount of RAM that you have. In my case I upgraded my two old netbooks from 1 gig of RAM to 2 gigs of RAM and I made a 4 gig swap partition of swap space on each netbook. So if you still own your netbook add one more gig of RAM and create a 4 gig swap partition. It should run faster.. Fast enough to run Supertux which is a super game along with Supertux Kart.. 😀👍 Keep the awesome videos coming (^_-)/
"i just wanted something for browsing the web" get a second hand thinkpad t series.
I got Lubuntu for a machine and saw the 32 bit version was compiled on April 20th. Knowing your humor, I do not think that was a coincidence.

Hey smoker, i love ur vids... but i hope you go back to Windows soon :P
NO... DON'T SAY THAT... NO WINDOWS 10...

longlines At first Windows 10 is a pup (potentially unwanted program) because it installs without permission, just automatic. After that Windows 10 is spyware. #wehaveawindows10defender
What'wrong?
By far this episode of Druaga1 is more hilarious in the beginning than all of SMG4's bloopers.
after all years of installing and reinstaling all kind of flavors, actually i can say, if you gonna play games on linux, please, pleeeeeease, install the drivers because if you don't, you gonna think linux is crap and reinstall again.
gerard s Yup. That'a whats bothering me the most at Linux related videos. They never put even a bit more effort in it than running through the installer, and say it's crap -_-
@@resneptacle Because it is. Thoroughly installed EndeavourOS a year ago, after trying some other distros and not liking them. Drivers installed, everything good to go, right? No. Some crucial games didn't work. Those that did ran worse than on Windows with the exception of Minecraft Java - but now that I have a Radeon card it runs as well as it did on Linux. Some crucial programs didn't work, which was the dealbreaker. SSD trimming not on by default (what the fuck even?). Automounting not a thing. Very arbitrary workarounds required for the simplest thing. Community is godawful, uncooperative, and elitist no matter where I went - Discord, forums, Matrix, etc., no matter, they were all the same.
So I went back to Windows 11, and I continue to be the happiest I've ever been with a desktop OS. Loonix HAS A LONG WAY TO GO in both the community & compatibility standpoints, before it becomes a viable desktop OS.
Reminds me of all the crud I tried to do with my MSI netbook. I've tried XP, Ubuntu, Linux Mint, Android x86, and now it's running Windows 10. I even tried it with an SSD at one point. I haven't found anything I can really do with it currently, but it works pretty well compared to this video. :)
"Rectal"......... So it is true, everything that comes from Dell is
shit.
What are the odds that two of the best tech TH-camrs ever both have amazing Duke Nukem impressions?
a gig of ram? theres your problem linux needs four gigs MINIMUM to use a DE
Me too i ran LXDE on 784 MB ram pendium 3 ibm thinkpad just a coupple years ago but i will NOT go back lop
HAHA browsing on less than a gig of ram thats just not happening chrome itself takes up half of that and facebook takes up twice that with the modern system of "webapps" thats just not going to happen
Yeah the second you enable html5 or flash your done for
though you can get pretty far with elinks
yeah im currently living on 6 gigs of ram but ive had 4 gigs for a long time
Am I the only one who noticed that Druaga has a shit ton of desktop PCs behind him?I figured that out because of the reflective screen.
Great idea, lad. I also did that solid state drive upgrade to my Windows 7 netbook with 2GB memory.
Before mke2fs creates an ext4 filesystem, it TRIMs the entire partition. Perhaps it is crashing because the SATA controller in this model doesn't like the TRIM command.
Damn I love your videos... I can't explain why I'm watching a 1 hour video of install problems... but I love it.
Just stumbled upon your channel. I cried so hard from laughing. Thank you.
You know this ain't a Druaga1 video without

For some reason i love this videos anyway.
this would be awesome as a terminal-only machine.
I recommend a Thinkpad X220 for this kind of thing. They are cheap and readily available on Ebay (Plus they have doors for both RAM sticks and Drives). Not to mention, it has an excellent keyboard
I had one of those netbooks. They made great Hackintoshes.
"'I'm also noticing I start to mimic the speaking style of whatever youtuber i happen to be watching at the time of making any particular video"
As someone who hasn't watched you before, it reminds me of LGR. Haha.
youtube and facebook are the bane of the pre 2006, all atom and celeron machines
Simos Katsiaris Not really, TH-cam works okay with Firefox on Arch Linux+Openbox on Intel Celeron 900MHz x1 and a Gig of Ram. And if you use smtube and mplayer, there are no laggs or stutters whatsoever
JonasLue that is an i7 extreme compared to atom, I'm talking any the entry level, atom based Celeron, now called pentium, not the core based
I think all you need to do is reinstall the SSD into a surrogate computer, completely wipe and reformat it, reinstall Lubuntu, then reinstall the SSD into the netbook and the crashing issue should be resolved.
Honestly, when you tried to cancel the installation part way through I cringed, but most of your other stuff was pretty logical and good thinking. Generally you'll be fine moving an SSD with an installation of Linux from one computer to another, even if it isn't optimized for that other computer, unless of course you're mixing CPU architectures (although x86 vs 64bit will likely cause issues, especially if you install 64-bit and try to transfer it to a 32-bit system)
I feel like the Windows XP colors clash with the grey and black of the case...That laptop is destined for Ubuntu
1)Old Linux kerner will not work on Intel ATOM CPUS. Only some new kernel has support for ATOM CPUs. :(
2) Never ever make SWAP on SSD , you will ruin it faster. Install on SSD whit only 1 partition.
3) Install an ARCH distro like Manjaro Netbook Edition that will work on ATOM CPUs and is made for it.
4) you can format a SSD whit other PC in only 1 partition and then install Manjaro Netbook Edition, and then place it in the Netbook , it will work. The ideea is to make the install whit other PC and make the update and hardware install after you put the SSD in the Netbook.
5) Try to make that Netbook faster by adding more then 2 GB of RAM so you can use it.
6) Have fun testing it.
Hell I had an HP Mini and once you took the bottom off the RAM slot was literally right there in your face. I bumped it up to 2GB, slapped in a 128GB SSD, reinstalled Ubuntu MATE, and called it a day.
I just love how he didn't put the battery back in...
4:04AM It's bad enough that it is late at night (so early in the morning) and I am hungry because of it, but on top of that, I am able to VIVIDLY imagine the smell of freshly baked muffins...*crying frowie emoji*
Green Ham Gaming names all of his computers based on towns in old RuneScape.
I have a HP Mini 110-3100 with the same Intel Atom processor, 1 GB RAM, 250 GB HDD and Windows XP Professional SP3. It runs pretty fine up until now (5 years on going), i'm starting to notice wear-and-tear though. I do browsing on it and **gasp** play games with it! (HL, CS, GTA:VC, GTA:SA (incredibly reduced GTA SA), RA2YR, Manhunt, etc.) and it runs suboptimally but bearable. I still use it up until now.
Laughing and headdesk...screaming "SWAP OFF!" at the screen.
You can change your hostname by editing /etc/hostname (sudo nano /etc/hostname), also that error when you switched to the console is one you'd typically get from a failing hard disk.
When you say "Before we violate this with our SSDness", that makes me laugh.
The Mini 9 already uses an SSD, just good luck getting it at a sizable capacity
Weed references, computers and true comedy! The perfect combination for me!
This is one of my favourite Druaga1 videos!! Its funny.
The horrible graphics performance is due to the GMA500 graphics chip, which Intel licensed from PowerVR, so they couldn't release source code that allowed the development of decent drivers for Linux.
SuperTux ran terribly because these Atom Z-series chips have a special snowflake GPU that, as of today, still has no acceleration of any kind under Linux.
RichardG867 PowerVR I think. And they refuse to release any code to support them on Linux. (even MS is giving up on them, they wont be support in future updates to Win 10)
That netbook is cursed forever for running Windows XP only.
I can't believe I just watched full hour long video.
great video. most likey your issue with games and video being slow is that the computer is probably running in software render mode. you should install the gma500 drivers and see if that fixes your issues.
It was so sad when you found out it was defective, I almost cried:( So sad, never forget
friendly tip. You can button mash the f keys starting right after you hit the power button. its actually what dell and HP tech support have you do.
Also, maybe next time try Linux Mint?
two year later...I also installed Lubuntu
Druaga1, you could also try "Windows 7 Aero Blue". I have the same kind of netbook, a Samsung N150, also with a 1,6ghz processor and 1GB ram. I also installed an ssd to this notebook, and guess what, it is running nicely with Windows 7 Aero Blue Edition. Maybe something for a next video? (Just for fun, for trying?)...
That feeling when he installed it on another machine and can just boot that on that netbook without doing anything, but he install it again anyway, because he doesn't know. I somehow enjoy the show.
i know im a bit late for this... but netbook hdds are thinner than laptop 2.5" hdds, thats why the ssd included that "bracket".. it is meant to make it fit in a notebook / desktop 2,5" bracket
btw.. man, that fail on the disassembly was way too painful
.... netbook hdds and notebook hdds are the same size... desktop hard drives are the ones that are different, 2.5 for netbooks/notebooks and 3.5 for desktops. some ssd manufacturers include 2.5 to 3.5 brackets (unless you order OEM)
nope... i used to think that way until i tried to replace my netbooks 2.5" 250gb hdd with a laptop 2.5" 500gb hdd and it wouldnt close because the standard notebook hdd is like 1,5mm taller. and thats why the ssd in the video fit perfectly in the bracket without the plastic square, which would be necesary in a notebook bracket.
I have that exact same watch! Casio Databank calculator watches are for true nerds.
my aunt gave me one of these a while ago. It was so mind-numbingly slow i swear to god
Druaga1 - The kind of guy to put an SSD in an alarm clock.
I have like three or four of those 120 GB Adata SSDs in various systems. They're decent drives.
Duraga1 in a nutshell: "What could possibly go wrong?"
Man someone needs to make a mini pc just like this but with newer specs
Woot! Dell Mini 10!
I still have a Dell Mini 10 (1012 model) that is running Windows 10 on a 120GB SSD. Its actually surprisingly fast. Upgraded to 2GB of RAM (which is significantly easier than the model you have in the video).
I originally tried Ubuntu on the netbook, and it didn't run nearly as well as Windows 10. I also experimented using Remix OS, which was cool but still rather slow. Due to the lack of graphics capability, it can't run any Android games, or even TH-cam. But there are some cool tricks to make it work just as well.
If you install a Broadcom Crystal HD decoder (only possible in the 1012 model, due to the extra mPCIe slot), and you use MPC-HC as your video player, it can play 1080p videos (H264 only) remarkably well. This needs to be done on Windows 7 or later, due to proprietary drivers.
... I have that same Casio Databank watch, by the way.

I believe that is the specific model netbook that was popular for being very easily Hackintosh-able! Also a few linux notes: Recent Linux refers to SATA disks as SCSI. At 48:10 it was trying to package all the installed software on the previous install to back it up. And you should try Damn Small Linux, it's only 50MB!
