Ok, done all my googling and experimenting, now I'm tossing it to you guys.
Can anyone recommend a small, no frills, LAMP-centric linux package/distro?
What I'm doing is setting up a test/development environment in a VMWare virtual
machine to keep things all nice and comparmentalized. It's going to emulate
(at least in PHP and MySQL version and configuration) my web host. Ideally
I'd like to keep using my traditional Windows apps to do development, but save
my work to a Samba share on the virtual machine (so guess toss Samba into that
too).
Maybe there's better ways to do what I want, but now I'm discovered a challenge
that I'd like to overcome.
I have something called "Grandma's LAMP", which is actually pretty cool. It
runs Xubuntu, which I dig, but still takes up 1.5gig (and is config'd for a max of 10gb
HD space). It has the full GUI and everything installed.
GUI is nice, but not 100% necessary. AMP + Samba is good. And I'm
transporting this all around on a 2GB thunbdrive (oh yeah, did I not mention
that?).
If it was sans-GUI, I don't see why the whole thing couldn't be under 500MB.
Thought maybe someone out there had seen a distro pack specifically geared for
quick and dirty LAMP + Samba setup.

Google for "DSL" (Damn Small Linux).
I've used that a few times myself. Pretty cool.
