Do a custom install and de-select all components except Windows Installer SDK\Tools. This should install a minimum set of files (~61MB !) but with ORCA.MSI present in ‘%ProgramFiles%\Microsoft Platform SDK for Windows 2003 Server R2\Bin’. If you wish, make a copy of ORCA.MSI then un-install the Platform SDK.))

Mint Linux – Mint is the most popular Ubuntu-based Linux variant, mainly because it comes with multimedia codecs pre-installed (MP3/DVD playback etc.) as well as some extra config tools not found in vanilla Ubuntu.
Mandriva – Mandriva (and PCLinuxOS) features a unique control panel and set of desktop tools (such as its own excellent, unique wifi and bluetooth apps) not found in other Linux distributions. Mandriva makes an excellent choice for desktop Linux newcomers and is one of the best choices for those who want easy wifi setup and use.
antiX – antiX is a customised version of the popular Debian derivative Mepis. antiX is an installable ‘live’ CD (you can run it straight off the CD) that is designed to run well on older hardware (ie ~128MB RAM machines) and I have singled it out because it very importantly includes wicd on the CD. wicd is the best wifi and wired internet connection tool for non-Mandriva based Linux distros but is currently still missing from official Ubuntu and Debian repositories. Hence, if wifi is important to you and you don’t fancy Mandriva then this could be your best bet.
VirtualBox – VirtualBox isn’t actually an OS as such but what it is a free, fast, open source virtualisation platform that lets you run Windows under Linux, or Solaris under Windows or whatever combination or as many virtual machines and OS’s as your machine can cope with.
