As a basis for our application which runs on a 100M disk-on-chip we tried these distributions:
 
RedHat: Too big and hard to strip down.
Debian: Better in size but still too big.
LEM: Very good for starting from the bottom and add stuff instead of stripping down, that was our choice.
 
And after a few days of preparing a nice working version of linux, we realized that we had built our own distribution to fit our needs.  Maybee we could make it available... it fits nicely on small disk systems.
 
With X-Windows and good basic utilities (mostly discarded busybox stuff not posix) and QT and more libs we use about 50M for the OS so we have 50M left for data aquisition...
 
What are your needs?

All SuSe's we used so far, worked very well.
We use it on x86 cyrix,amd,intel....
Will test 7.1 soon.
The trick is to use the rescue image
as the base for the application :)
