[wellylug] Linux on one disk

[Mark Henson]

Hi Lindsey,

Have you looked at these distributions:

well known:

http://trinux.sourceforge.net/
http://sunsite.dk/mulinux/
http://www.linuxrouter.org/
http://www.smoothwall.org/
http://www.coyotelinux.com/

less well known:

http://alfalinux.sourceforge.net/alfaeng.php3
http://old.dhs.org/~adosch/
http://www.fli4l.de/

I have not personally tried any of these either cut down or floppy based distributions,
so cannot make a reccomendation I have heard of Trinux, Smoothwall, MuLinux and Coyote
Linux as well as the Linux Router Project so consider these well know - the others popped
up in my search!!

cheers
Mark
