Feather Linux, created by Robert Sullivan, is a Knoppix-based operating system which fits in under 128 MB[1] (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.[2] It has a wide range of desktop and rescue software, and can load entirely into RAM (if enough RAM is available) or be installed to a hard drive.[3] Feather Linux contains GTK+ applications, such as AbiWord and Pidgin. Feather Linux has tried to include software that people would frequently be using on their desktop.[4]
With its most recent release being on 2005-07-04, Feather Linux is now dormant. Feather Linux and Damn Small Linux share some common goals.
