Just wondering if there are any decent distros of Linux on floppy. Maybe to take around with me for testing? Just a thought.

Tom's RootBoot is supposed to be pretty fantastic: find it here (http://www.toms.net/rb/)

Alternatively, you can also get distro's on mini-CDs, the size of business cards from LinuxCare (http://lbt.linuxcare.com/index.epl)

I always fancied the idea of handing someone my business card and telling them that they can boot Linux from it too. :cool:

There are a few. The only one I've really used is floppyfw which provides firewalling and masquarading in the event that something goes wrong with the gateway's OS (busted hard drive or whatever).
