Imagine loading the OS AND all your primary apps AND drivers in 20 minutes from ONE CDROM - Linux Mint! I run Linux Mint i386 which is an Ubuntu version with all the codecs already installed and Open Office included as my main system. The latest Puppy Lucid is Ubuntu-based if you're into compatibility with a major Distro. Oh, yeah no more viruses means no speed degradation with use -) Such a lean, fast OS can revive even 486 PCs to "Windows" speed. (leaving 7Gb in a separate partition storage drive) The operating system AND my apps all fit in 1gb, MAX. almost all music, files, and video formats run natively. My 8Gb Flash drive with Puppy Bruno 2 has Open Office, qbitorrent, complete 'rescue ware', and a full multimedia suite. It can be run from a CDROM, HD, or USB flash drive. It even ran better (finding the USB Broadband modem) on the Eee PC than PuppEee which was designed for that platform. Specifically the Puppy Bruno 2 has been able to run on desktops, and laptops alike. A minimal install gives Firefox and business type apps in under 512Mb With room to store your own files too. The operating system AND apps all fit in 1gb, MAX. The leanest and fastest Linux Distro I've found is Puppy Linux.
