I have been playing with Luit Linux, and rather than try and remaster that, (which I have not been able to accomplish), I just use a nice tarball, with Foxfire, Opera and all of my other stuff, wallpapers, etc.

Been polishing the setup routine, which I write down on little cards by each
computer. It's very much a remaster of Damn Small, but goes over the 50
MB limit. BTW, Wall Street Journal reports that a scramble is on for the
replacement for the DVD. Some are going to be 50 GB, others are 30 GB.
Soon we may have larger credit card cd-type media for the small distros.

I like the xfce4 window manager, it has Scite, Wvdial, and Gimp, which I play with some. Not enough fonts for Gimp, however, but it is fun to fool with anyway. Luit Linux seems to be based on 0.5.3.1, since it
easily takes Opera 6.12. Keeping the distro small, and using a little usb memory key seems to be the trick. Even a 64 MB key will easily keep a 18 MB backup.tar.gz and
the filetool.lst. I often keep a backup of the backup.tar.gz, in case I somehow foul up the main one. Keep those on CD, and on the hard drive, too. I agree that one will tend to use only a few of the applications on a little distro, but these have to be one size fits all, to appeal to a wide audience.

I have run Luit Linux on a 17 inch Dell UltraSharp, but have not
made screenshots on that.

BTW, screenshots are made using GIMP.
