Here's some references for small linux distros:
This doesn't include source distros (Gentoo!!) that are only as big as you
make them.
DSL - Damn Small Linux
As of yesterday, V2.0RC2 is out
<50MB, boots from flashdrive, business card CD, etc

MiniBSD (yes, BSD)
More of a howto than a distro as we think of it
I've given thought to doing something similiar for linux.
