Hi guys,
I wanted a small distro which would fit on a 100mb old laptop. I wanted to run my mail server on it. Any suggestions???? Oh the mail server should be easy to configure as it is only going to be used on my lan.
Amol
why dont u take debian cds and install whatever u want.ie just the kernel, an editor, and a mail client (pine/mutt) browser - lynx/links and surely ur mailserver too :) ... gcc if u think u need it.

Your answer could be Debian. With a minimal install 100MB should be more than sufficient. Exim, which is the default mail server is also very easy to configure. Infact, on installation you are asked a few easy questions and lo behold it works!

Thanks guys I'll throw one more spanner in the works, I can't attach a cd drive to the laptop. So I was looking for a single floppy distro or something.

Amol, There are some good floppy distros available. Trinux (3 floppies), Coyote Linux, Tomsrtbt, Keeper Linux etc. Most of them have been customized for specific functions, but you may be able to get a Mail Server running. Also check out linux from scratch. You can make your custom distro, with just the things you need. They claim to have made one in under 8MB which runs a web server.

Have you tried Gentoo Linux. It's an LFS, but without the quirks. And it gives great performance boosts. I had setup a small distro some time back when gentoo was in 1.1 status. They've vastly improved after that.
But it did need a cdrom drive then to kick off the process.

Debian Boot Floppies, very minimalistic network install, BTW won't a mail server need significant spool space to handle mails or is this only a test machine for the mail server ?

dinesh shah is the right person to bug about this. he has fitted a firewall on a floppy and even deployed it at places. mailserver wudnt be any issue for him :)
but i wonder with a 100mb laptop where will you store the mails :)
take care harsh

I'd put my money on Quasi. Debian GNU/Linux should work out with out a problem.
