Review: Lightweight Linux distributions (Abandoned Zone)

From the Abandoned Zone (blog) comes this review/comparison of several lightweight Linux distributions: Arch 2007.08-2, Damn Small Linux 4.2.5, Puppy 4.0, TinyMe Test7-KD, Xubuntu 8.04, and Zenwalk 5.0. "After installation the system was rebooted. Boottime was measured from Grub to Desktop (login information was entered as quickly as possible) and I ran glxgears to see how well my graphics card was working (this was a problem in the past). Than I took a quick look how well the hardware is detected, which default software is installed and how it performs."
