Hi guys, I am looking to get a distro of linux that is debian based, and extremly small. What i want to do is run sun's virtual box software with multiple os's. Right now i am using windows 7 with linux inside. it runs amazingly well, but i would like a linux backbone that takes up almost no ram, has graphics enough to load multiple windows and has networking and usb support. this way, i can run a full os with almost no lag due to the virtual box shell. Any ideas?

What about the ubuntu minimal install CD to which you add openbox or something like that as desktop window manager. I've no idea if it will work, but it's worth trying, as you already know ubuntu and its ways.
