Stumbled across a reference to Tiny Core Linux on distrowatch, thought I'd give it a try. 10MB download (yes, I said 10MB). Burned a CD, booted, and it was running. Read the single page help, installed mplayer and OSS sound and in 2 minutes I was playing a video.
These guys have some unique ideas, and they're doing an excellent job of implementing them. If they can keep at it, in a year this will be a fantastic Linux distro. Give it a spin and prepare to be impressed.
No, it isn't better than Fedora, just really different. I like what they're doing.
