I have always loved Slax , its an excellent full featured OS that can be used for recovery purposes along with XPE and a XP install disc.

Yet another Linux distro... I don't see anything that special about this one...

BTW the smallest distros fit on a 1.44M floppy.

Same... for the purpose of testing or playing around with Linux, sure... but for recovery CDs, I always use plain WinPE or Reatogo (way better than BartPE). Reatogo is much easier to use than any other recovery CD out there since it uses Explorer as it's shell, and has most of the common Windows XP tools available to you. It's truly a bootable Windows XP environment - not just a WinXP based environment.

Not to detract from the topic... but there are other alternatives to just Linux bootable CDs. It's just that most people don't know about them and they use strange UIs.
