What's the best lightweight Linux distro? (TuxRadar)

TuxRadar takes a look at several light-weight Linux distributions. "The important things that we'll look at here are the amount of space needed, how much processing power is required to get the distro running at an acceptable level, and the effort required to get it to work. Something to bear in mind is that one of the ways in which developers are able to create slimmed-down distros is by ditching the scripts and wizards that we've come to take for granted. This can complicate tasks that you might expect to be straightforward, such as installing software." The article looks at Damn Small Linux, CrunchBang, Lubuntu, Puppy Linux, SliTaz, Tiny Core Linux, Unity Linux, and VectorLinux.
