I guess the subject says it all. Im looking for a smaller distro to use as a foundation to build a custom server onto. 3 Requirements 1) Open source friendly I will be using all opens-source tars. To compile all that source, it should have a current GCC, programmers development and libraries. 2) Small footprint of 200 to 400MB (no need for X-Windows, but I'll take it if everythings not too bloated) I know theres lots of distros out there. I figure there's got to be a mini distro of about ~200-~400MB that will fit the bill. 3) Ease of use There are some like the Linux from Scratch that will require serious amounts of work. I want a base to work from. Not build the base itself. Please reply here with your recommendations.
