[ILUG] Small Distro to use as an X server

[ILUG] Small Distro to use as an X server

ubuntu lucid's 15second startup is very nice, and that's a full system.
 presumably a minimal netboot install would do for you, then you can add or
remove packages as you see fit.

Ive just downloaded and put tinycore in a VM. However it doesn't have xhost,
> only xauth. Which would require them to generate cookies every time (and tbh
> these users would probably not know how to do it).
