I have a machine with two internal hard drives. I had a fully updated and
tweaked PC Linux OS that I loved. Well, after reading an article in Linux
Today magazine in which the author surmised that Linux Mint was so good that
the days of distro hopping were about to end. Naturally, I was intrigued, so I
thought I'd take it for a spin. The install on what I thought was my secondary
drive was fast and easy, and it looked fantastic, but I didn't fall in love
with it.
So, you may be saying to yourself, "What's the problem?" The problem is that I
screwed up when partitioning and hosed my PC Linux. Minor problem, right?
NOT!!!
After re-installing PC Linux, I naturally went to the repository to install
updates and some of my favorite programs. I wound up with broken packages,
failed depencies, etc. When I tried to fix it, the only repositories available
were all 2007. After I went, "Huh?" I found out that today is the big
day...the 2010 rollout.
Distrowatch.com claims to have 2010 available for download now, but I'm going
to wait and see if I can fix everything when the repositories are available
again.
I am looking for a small distro that I can run on a 2 GB flash drive.
Recommendations please.

The box read, "Requires Windows XP or Better," so I installed PCLinuxOS 2009.
