Damn Small Linux

Could I also suggest Tiny Core Linux [0]? It still seems to be in active development, and the ISO which includes the kernel, shell, and window manager (FLWM, based off FLTK) weighs in at only 16mb in total. It's pretty impressive, and its good fun to play around with in a VM.

This was written by a former DSL co-founder/developer. It's quite an interesting story! There is an interview with him here: http://distrowatch.com/weekly.php?issue=20090323&mode=68#fea...

I actually ran this distro to do nodejs development for a while in a VM before they had windows support. It beats Cygwin and still is fast.

Agreed. It became my standard choice for micro linux installs over puppy, nano, dsl, etc.
