A barebones distribution of Linux, which is meant to be used in embedded systems or systems that will be run from CD-ROM or floppy. The theme of AntLinux is "Small software that does big things". Another catchphrase candidate is "Embedded systems stealth ninja style!". The main AntLinux page is located at http://www.antlinux.com.

About the AntLinux Logo

The image above was taken from , but the person who posted the image on that page, Steve Gandy, said he didn't remember where he got it from either. So if you are the author of the image, or know the author, please contact me ( mailto:brian {at} antlinux dot com ), so I can formally ask for permission to use the image, and give the appropriate credit for the image. Thanks!
