arch, but expect to get hit in the face with a learning cliff.

WillPJK got a reaction from mrchow19910319 in What's the cheapest linux machine that I can get?
If you want a really lightweight distro which will run nicely off a flash drive or even a CD, try DSL (Damn Small Linux). It's very lightweight and somewhat stripped back, but if you're looking to learn command line then it might be a really good option.
Here's the project website: http://www.damnsmalllinux.org/
Not sure which kernel they're using in the latest version though.

I'll be ordering the CPU on Monday and will probably build later in the week. I'm checking now before testing because my local store only had one other RAM stick of this type and they weren't planning to get any more in. If I need to swap I should do so before that stick goes into another build. But from what you're saying, I don't need to worry. Thanks again for your help
And also thanks to @ARikozuM for your input. I didn't say that earlier.
