need some help?

ok heres what im doing. i’ve just downloaded linux and ran the live cd and im gonna stick with it. so i want to install it and i just bought a external harddrive (320 GB simpletech harddrive) because i dont want to partition my drive and i want to install it on the external harddrive, but i dont know if its bootable or not so everytime i boot my machine and the usb cable is plugged in it’ll boot up in ubuntu and vice versa. but if dosent work then i’ll just have to transfer my data to the external and partition my disk with majority of the space. i dont know if i eplained it well enough. i hope you get my point. thanks.

What is the smallest size linux (choosing a best answer)?

I have an extremely old pentium 3 550mhz processor, with 384mbs of ram and a 20 gig hard drive. I dont know what the smallest linux that doesnt run off a live cd is. I have used slax portable linux but i want a permanently installed os (preferably with a kde interface and maybe looks like ubuntu) and I dont want to permanenly install slax becuase it still functions as a live cd, just running from the hard drive.

So the bottom line is, I need a list of small sized linux OS’s with links to a download. remember, I am choosing a best answer.

Thanks!!
