What is the simplest OS I can install in Xen, preferably Linux based, and don't tell me MS-DOS :). I have installed a minimal version of Fedora, but I want something that is even less cluttered.

I have looked at Minix, but it is not fully supported. I need something small, lightweight (doesn't have to be multi-threaded or anything), that will run small C and Assembler programs that I can use to rum some tests.

The smallest (in disk size) installation of guest OS I have done so far is a debian guest using debbootstrap which I think is around 80MB in size.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.
