Linux on a smaller scale

[drew einhorn]

Check the assorted branches of the LEAF (Linux Embedded Appliance Firewall)
Project

    http://leaf.sourceforge.net/

Or if you need something that supports a wider range of applications
check out Devil Linux:

     http://www.devil-linux.org/home/index.php

It started out as a firewall and grew.  By default it boots from CD,
but you could trim it back and boot from flash.
