Absolute Linux is a lightweight Slackware derivative that uses an Icewm, pcmanfm, ROX-Filer, ivman, and others to create a lightweight yet easy to use distribution. Installation is text-based but simplified, and all packages are installed at once. It can run on a Pentium II and above, including SMP systems. A minimum 128MB RAM is recommended. It features ease of browsing any connected device in pcmanfm, and an auto-popup menu for inserted playable media. "Restricted" codecs are available to those eligible via a root-user installer. There is a large range of software included: Google Chromium (compiled on Absolute), OpenOffice, Mplayer, GIMP, K3B, FileZilla, and many more.
IBM PS/2 Model 57 Linux is a small Linux distribution for the IBM PS/2 Model 57 (or any other 32-bit x86 PC). It can run fine even on a FPU-less 80386 with 4 megabytes of RAM. It is based on a Linux 2.4 kernel and uClibc. It is mostly meant as an install disk that installs a system on which you have to compile your own software. Providing the standard library shared files or compiling binaries statically is your own responsibility. This avoids the hassle of getting something to run. Installation is done with a simple installer and the installation media is just two floppy disks.
KaarPux is aimed at developers who want to build and explore a Linux distribution where they have complete control over the build process. The build process, as well as each package, are described in simple "YAML" files, which are then transformed into shell scripts used to build KaarPux.
Lilblue Linux is a Gentoo-based, security-enhanced, fully featured XFCE4 desktop system for amd64, built on uClibc. Its userland utilities are not provided by busybox, but by coreutils, util-Linux, etc. It resembles a common Linux system with one exception: It uses uClibc as its standard C library and not the more common glibc, and so brings in some of the advantages of embedded systems. Security enhancements come from Gentoo's hardened toolchain and Grsec/PaX-patched kernel. The fully-featured XFCE4 desktop has software for browsing, email, word processing, multimedia, chat, games, and more.
