Feather Linux, created by Robert Sullivan, is a Knoppix-based Linux distribution which currently fits in under 128MB (while older versions were made to fit within 64MB). It boots from either a CD or a USB Flash Drive, into a Fluxbox desktop environment. It has a wide range of desktop and rescue software, and can load entirely into RAM (as space permits) or be installed to a hard drive. Its size factor makes it a bootable business card. Feather Linux contains many GTK+ applications, such as Abiword and Gaim.

Feather linux is now maintained by Robert Pickel.

Feather Linux is partly inspired by Damn Small Linux, though not based upon it, and both projects share some common goals.
