I would be very open to investigating running under Windows while we
still have this dependency on CPRS.  Having a single system demo is very
very useful.

Plus I'm all for dogfooding a puppy as well.

Fairly similar in size are puppy linux and colinux. I am particularly 
interested in qemu/puppy 
(http://www.erikveen.dds.nl/qemupuppy/index.html) and colinux 
(http://www.colinux.org) which run at the same time as windows xp off 
a usb flashdrive without a reboot of ms windows. So you could put it 
together with vista on a 256 MB flashdrive for your own convenience.

colinux currently has the advantage of looking to the LAN like a spare 
linux box with its own ip address using a TAP device, though the next 
version is going to use slirp, which is simpler.

Puppy is an amazingly well-put-together-for-such-a-small-footprint 
distribution. It is free but not Free in parts.

colinux is better integrated with windows, but more alpha. puppy would 
need to be tortured a bit to work with TAP or slirp.

I would suggest you look into torturing a puppy, it looks like it 
would be fun.
