Linux on a Floppy: Intro to Mini Linux Distros

GonzoJohn writes: "If you've ever been stuck on the freeway with a flat tire and no jack, you know what it's like to have a Linux system crash and not have a boot disk. And although nearly every Linux distribution company asks you make a boot/recovery floppy when you install Linux for the first time, many users skip this important step. Out of the boot/recovery disk concept was born the Mini-Linux distribution." Read this article on Linux Orbit, with a brief intro to some of the mini-distros available.

If you've ever been stuck on the freeway with a flat tire and no jack, you
know what it's like to have a Linux system crash and not have a boot disk.

I know what it was like to have TWO flat tires on a country road, with nothing but
a $1500 Presario lap top. It was "Redneck Rampage", those fuckers even took my boots.

How often do you do a memory grep to search for in-core strings? I do that on a daily basis, and it is very reassuring.
