Damn Small is a very versatile 50MB mini desktop oriented Linux distribution. DSL was originally developed as an experiment to see how many usable desktop applications can fit inside a 50MB live CD. It was at first just a personal tool/toy. But over time Damn Small Linux grew into a community project with hundreds of development hours put into refinements including a fully automated remote and local application installation system and a very versatile backup and restore system which may be used with any writable media including a hard drive, a floppy drive, or a USB device.

Size-wise it reminds me of Microsoft's MinWin ("MiniWin, Mini Windows") after reading about it only occupying 25 MB disk space.

Interesting link Andavari.
The video of Traut's presentation of Windows 7 and MiniWin link at the end is also interesting - although its 143mb in size
Probably better off downloading it...
