Tiny Core Linux offers a complete Linux solution in 11MB (Geek.com)
Geek.com reviews
Tiny Core Linux. "Tiny Core Linux is a complete Linux GUI desktop solution in just 11MB. Unlike DSL though, this is about as minimal as it gets, with no installed apps, just a menu and a link to a huge list of apps you may want to install. For the Linux pro it means a completely blank sheet where you only add what you want to be productive."

Tiny Core is great. I've been using it for a while for a nearly-thin client - boot over the LAN, no local storage, self-contained once booted (not an NFS root but a ramdisk root.) That machine has 256M RAM which is enough for X11, a browser, vnc client. More recently I've used Tiny Core as a rescue/restore environment in VirtualBox. There's a package system which makes it easy to add whatever might be needed, accessible both by GUI and CLI. It is of course quick to copy around and to boot.
