We all know about Debian, Fedora and Arch but what about the lesser known ones that are built from the ground up?

SliTaz GNU/Linux is a cool lightweight diatro.

Haven't used it in a while. It was dead for a bit, but it's active again. I should look at what it feels like these days. I remember being impressed at how smoothly it ran while looking good, +10 years ago, in 300MB or so.

Thanks for mentioning SliTaz. It made my shortlist too. Didn't think anyone else would mention it. :)

SliTaz evokes a lot of love and joy. It's like seeing a microbus... People just smile. Makes the world lighter.
