Sometimes, you may find that you are only needing a very light-weight version Linux to get the job done. More importantly, having Linux that is small enough to fit on a pen drive can be very handy to have on you in a pinch. How is that possible? Enter the world of Feather Linux.

About:
Feather Linux is a Linux distribution based on Knoppix 3.4 that can fit on a Mini-CD or on a 128 MB USB pen drive. It aims to have a wide range of applications for desktop, rescue, and administration uses.

Release focus: Major feature enhancements
