Puppy Linux (Score:2)
Another distro I came across and which I rather liked, at least for running directly from the CD, is Puppy Linux [puppylinux.org], again, Gnome Desktop based, and rather small (a CD of roughly only 75MB). I must have read, somewhere on their site, that actually installing it on hard disk, like a traditional OS, is problematic, though.
