Live cd, built from scratch for optimal size and speed (ricer mentality I know, but here it counts). All in all, it's running reasonable with no X server, but for all the extra fun enhancements, it looks like X needs to be loaded somehow. Feel free to add in stuff you'd like to see in a ultra-tiny but still capable live cd.
