Suggestions for a low weight distro.....

I''m looking for a low weight distro (under 200mb''s for descent install) to use to learn Linux. I''m looking at Peanut, Vector or Dragon, although if you have other suggestions they don''t have to be able to install without partitioning as I know how to do that. I want shell, X, and basic Internet and other utilities but other distros like Redhat and Suse seem to be hard pressed to get down under 400mb from what I''ve heard. Am I wrong????

Well, have you tried any of them yet?

I think if you go to linux.org, there''s a listing of all known distros.

rm -rf /bin/laden

Check out gentoo linux (www.gentoo.org). Installation is a bit involved and i would only suggest it if you have broadband or dedicated access because it downloads everything you want to install. It also compiles everything from source, so you have a system with all the software customized for your box.
