Damn Small Linux
I dont know how well known this verison of linux is, but i was very impressed when i found it.
http://www.damnsmalllinux.org/ Damn Small Linux only 50mb with a desktop and 1 of almost every type of program as well. If you get the embedded verison you can run it straight from a usb stick on any windows pc

heh, you can run it from a usb stick before you even boot into windows. Like a LiveCD.

Hah! Its funny you should mention this because I just downloaded it! Its ok, comes with FluxBox default desktop. Has all the icons on the desktop so easy to see. I used it and I was not blown away, its just a really small linux. Nothing special aside from, like Piz said, you can put it on a USB stick.
Cheers, -Nebs.

When I get a 1Gb USB stick, it'll go on. Right now, I can't fit it.

It's as slow as molasses when you run it in Windows, but it's still pretty cool that its a full OS and it was only 50mb
