Tiny Core Linuxis still going strong (http://www.tinycorelinux.net/). They're now up to three images, all built on the idea of running out of RAM with a 3.0-era kernel. The Core image is CLI-only and weighs in 8 MB; TinyCore adds a GUI/WM interface at 12 MB; and if you have RAM to burn you can opt for the 64 MB CorePlus image which is the only one that starts up with wifi set up.

It's a kick to play with. It's just amazing how fast a minimal distro can be running out of RAM. Even when you load it up with Firefox and a bunch of other apps you're still only looking at a few hundred MB.

No xmonad version yet though. :(
