Thanks for the suggestions.. but again, the question wasn't "what distro of 
linux" to use.  And I don't mind upgrading things.  The question is what would 
someone recommend for a really small distro of linux preferably with the bare 
essentials + apache, mysql, php and samba.

Failing that, I'll just grab one of the small linux distros out there and 
install the stuff I need manually.  I just don't know if some of those small 
distros are missing anything that would make installing AMP+Samba tricky.

Anyway, I'll figure it out.  It's not a huge priority, but something that'd 
make my  hobby development a lot easier.

I can recommend Fedora Core 6, it has more uptodate Apache, PHP and MySQL,
than does Red Hat Enterprise 4, which is what the company I consult for
installed on their VM-ware environment.  We spent a lot of time upgrading
everything on the VM Host because the RH Enterprise was so far behind.  I
run the Fedora 6 on a spare machine at home, and everything that version is
far superior, don't even try to convince the corporate types though, they
want a corporate name behind things, like there might be someone to blame,
other than themselves, if something goes wrong.

I've also used Free BSD, Redhat 9, and older versions of Suse, but prefer
the Fedora.  The MySQL on Fedora 6 has master/slave replication, if you know
what that is.
