A light-weight Linux distribution a Linux distribution that uses lower memory and processor-speed requirements than a more "feature-rich" Linux distribution. The lower demands on hardware ideally result in a more responsive machine , and allow devices with fewer system resources (e.g. older or embedded hardware ) to be used productively.
Lubuntu (/ l ʊ ˈ b ʊ n t uː / luu-BUUN-too) [1] is a lightweight Linux distribution based on Ubuntu that uses the LXQt desktop environment in place of GNOME.Lubuntu was originally touted as being "lighter, less resource hungry and more energy-efficient", but now aims to be "a functional yet modular distribution focused on getting out of the way and letting users use their computer".
A small and portable Linux distro focused on speed. Salix OS: Originally a fork of Zenwalk, Salix is a complete Linux distribution fully backwards compatible with Slackware. It uses Xfce, KDE, LXDE, Fluxbox or Ratpoison as its default desktop environment. Salix OS is available as 32 and 64bit version, and also as Live CD versions. Sentry Firewall
Alpine's primary feature is its small size, which enables it to start quickly and run in environments very low in memory and storage, such as containers or embedded devices. Alpine Linux can optionally be installed as a run-from-RAM operating system. This allows Alpine to work reliably in demanding embedded environments or to (temporarily ...

Tiny Core Linux (TCL) is a minimal Linux kernel based operating system focusing on providing a base system using BusyBox and FLTK. It was developed by Robert Shingledecker, who was previously the lead developer of Damn Small Linux .
Bodhi Linux 2.4.0 (originally planned for release in August 2013) appeared late in mid-September. [10] A bug fix release (x.y. z ; e.g. version 2.4.0 > 2.4.1) was released to fix configuration bugs. The Bodhi Linux 3.0.0 branch was released in February 2015 with an additional "legacy" version for older hardware.
SliTaz GNU/Linux 1.0 is not just another small desktop distro; it is, in fact, the smallest by some margin and just half the size of Damn Small Linux. When it runs, the 25 MB compressed CD image expands to about 80 MB, so any computer with 128 MB of RAM will be able to load it fully into memory, ensuring blazing fast program execution.
