Hi guys,

I'm looking for up to date advice on a small linux distro that supports USB drives for distributed computing.

I used to install Linux on 128Meg pen drives and run seti@home on it. Now with the D20L team, F@H and dimes teams needing a boost, a technical advantage can't hurt.

What is current and readily available that fits the bill?

Cheers
UnG

I believe DAMN Small linux still works, I think Berry if you go with 256mb, Slax, and netBSD if you build it right...
