Peanut Linux is a distro that I found while researching my Dec. KISS
talk.  I have it on one of my machines.  It's designed to be a user-oriented
distro, but can add packages from any of the big-boys (RH SuSE, Slack, etc.)
Install to ext2 partition, or share with a Windows partition as umsdos
without partitioning.  Ships with kernel 2.2.18, has Slack-style (e.g.
BSD-style) init scripts. 

It's a lean 150mb standard install (from a 50mb download, or buy his CD)
