These are Linux Distros that have tested. I carry Damn Small Linux and Slax with me. I have not yet settled on a desktop distro.
The point here is to be able to carry a Linux distro anywhere, anytime. Because of the size limitation, a business card distro does just one job.
http://luitlinux.sarovar.org/ A portable desktop environment, inspired by Damn Smal Linux but with a different window manager and a different set of applications.
http://cyti.latgola.lv/ruuni/index_en.html Another portable minimal desktop, but with a different set of initialization scripts and some different application choices.
This is not a portable desktop, but a Linux toolkit. Linux BBC automatically sets up to use the HPFS partitions on my OS/2 machine. This makes file recovery from OS/2 possible.
http://slax.linux-live.org/ There is an excellent set of extensions (additional modules) for Slax at http://slax.mandrakenation.ro/
