-Older PCs have slower CPU speeds , less RAM and smaller hard disks, maybe not enough to satisfactorily run the mainsteam distros listed above. The mini distros are designed to run on limited hardware or to run from a small medium (such as a memory stick or business card sized CD). Of course, to achieve this, they may lack some features or applications.

 !! Special distributions for removable media 
  
 Some [LinuxDistribution]s can be booted from removable media such as a FloppyDisk, a [LiveCD], or a KeyDrive and don't require installation (or indeed any kind of write access at all) to HardDisk. Such a media provides both an excellent way to try out a LinuxDistribution without having to change your [Partition]s as well as a great tool platform for things like network diagnosis and system repair (be it for [Linux] or other [OperatingSystem]s).
