Feather Linux, created by Robert Sullivan,[1] is a Knoppix-based operating system which currently fits in under 128 MB[2] (while older versions were made to fit within 64 MB). It boots from either a CD or a USB Flash Drive, into a Fluxbox desktop environment.[3] It has a wide range of desktop and rescue software, and can load entirely into RAM (as space permits) or be installed to a hard drive.[4] Feather Linux contains many GTK+ applications, such as AbiWord and Pidgin. Feather Linux has tried to include software that people would frequently be using on their desktop.[5]
