Yo, hi all, ive been redirected from CodeMaster section into this section, lets hope I can get some easy direct answer =)

A bit about myself, im a windows programmer for more than 10 years, ive never seriously look into linux. Lately my company plans to implement something that we might look into Raspberry Pi, a business card sized ultra cheap computer for some kind of project. That Pi thingy can not run a windows but it will be more than enough for a lightweight linux.

So here am i. I am in need for some direct answer. Please suggest me few linux distro to look into based on my requirement.

- the distro need to run from an SD card
- the distro need to be small, very small, if lesser than 1GB good, if lesser than 1 MB even better, RAM only 256MB available
- the purpose of the Raspberry Pi will be running some sort of application, ie a webserver, plus some small sized reporting program.
- no monitor, mouse, keyboard, user will be using the system, so no need to have most of the common things, like calculator, browser, notepad, etc.
- need to have network, DHCP, speaker, capable of running multiple instance of application.
- best if can have mono(some kind of engine that allows dotnet codes or program to be executed)

Currently i have installed debian in a virtualbox, attempting to get the Raspberry Pi or compatible hardware for me to get a head start. Please suggest me what else i can look into, thanks.
