+!! Mini Distros

+These distributions are much smaller than the mainsteam distros listed above. The mini distros are designed to run on limited hardware (such as small RAM, slow CPU, limited hard disk space) or to run from a small medium (such as a memory stick or business card sized CD).

!! 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).
