Please provide some guidance about future releases of OpenVistA VivA.
At the other extreme, is Damn Small Linux (http://damnsmalllinux.org). Sans VistA, this distribution is small enough to fit onto a business card sized CD. With VistA, the download would be around 220MB. An OpenVistA VivA based on DSL would be small, fast and functional.
Fairly similar in size are puppy linux and colinux. I am particularly interested in qemu/puppy (http://www.erikveen.dds.nl/qemupuppy/index.html) and colinux (http://www.colinux.org) which run at the same time as windows xp off a usb flashdrive without a reboot of ms windows. So you could put it together with vista on a 256 MB flashdrive for your own convenience.
colinux currently has the advantage of looking to the LAN like a spare linux box with its own ip address using a TAP device, though the next version is going to use slirp, which is simpler.
Puppy is an amazingly well-put-together-for-such-a-small-footprint distribution. It is free but not Free in parts.
colinux is better integrated with windows, but more alpha. puppy would need to be tortured a bit to work with TAP or slirp.
I would suggest you look into torturing a puppy, it looks like it would be fun.
