[ale] midori linux vs. gentoo linux (features not flame!)

[Christopher Bergeron]

Sorry guys, I should've been more clear in my initial post. Â I actually
need a distro that will run X reasonably on a CFcard/DiskOnChip setup.
 The most affordable (value wise for me) is the 256MB Sandisk CF card.
 I have a feeling that if I'm diligent, I can get X and my most
cherished apps into that space. Â And of course, this is for the dashpc
project. 

Anyone have any more suggestions?

Thanks!

    Couple of quick questions for the guru's out there...  Has anyone used 
Midori linux?  Is it still supported or is it a dying dog?  The website 
looks out of date, but it likes like a really interesting (embedded) 
distro.  

Another thing that I'm wondering, is how would Midori compare to Gentoo 
as far as getting the "smallest" distro possible?

I'm looking for a distro that will run in about 255 Megs (with X!) and 
I'm not sure how to go about it...  If anyone knows of anything that can 
fit the bill, or if anyone has any good info about Midori, please let me 
know...

As always, much respect in advance!

Christophers post prompted me to ask, what is the regular ram count on
your machines?  He said he would like to run within 256MBs, I thought
that was plenty enough to run linux.  I have rarely ever get over 300
Megs of RAM usage running kde, openoffice, mysql server, xmms, gaim,
galeon, Ximian, several konqueror windows and konsoles simultaneously.
