I assume you've scoured DistroWatch.com?

My concern here is this: Grey Cat has some limitations that I may be unable to get past. It is based upon slackware 4.0 and hence I do not believe that I can install some amateur radio software that I'd like to use for psk31. I looked into basiclinux, but I was unable to make it work (kept getting a 0X04 error message). TinyLinux and Damn Small Linux are both memory hogs. I would like to know if there are any other distributions of linux out there that might better suit my needs. I have tested DebianHam, but it does not have an xserver/client and this makes it almost unusable to me. I have also checked out BlueFlops, PocketLinux, and FloppyFW, yet none of these are as useful as I would like either.
