Damn Small Linux is a very versatile 50MB mini desktop oriented Linux distribution

maybe we can run DSL without SD card so it will be faster I think

you'd have to recompile everything and insert a different kernel,at the very least.  As far as i know, DSL is compiled for 386 only

There's no real point. DSL is optimized to run on old i386 hardware, much as distros like pdaX and Angstrom are optimized to run on the Z.
