Best mini distro with good file server?
I like puppy apart from the file manager, you could probably download a different FM from the package manager, but i am looking for a new distro. I know DSL as well and i think it's good but there must be better.
I will mainly be using it for 2 reason
a) Recover(backup) files from a windows system i can't boot into
b) To access the net of a system i can't boot into
1) Be under 200MB
2) Fast to boot
3) Have network support including wireless
4) Have sata support and ideally raid support
5) Good file manager
6) As windows like as possible
7) Easy to copy files from HD to usb stick and easy to set permissions
hmmmmmm?
thanks for any help

parted magic should have all these things, it is pretty small like 75mb for the iso i believe and can run entirely in ram as well, has all that stuff though i'm not sure about the wireless
