There's Alpine Linux too: http://www.alpinelinux.org/

I'll check out these distro's in the near future. I at least got a laugh out of what I saw on alpine's homepage:

"Simple. Small. Secure." right next to "ISO 298MB."

I know I'm getting old when people think a 298MB system is simple, small, or secure. Lol...

The Alpine Linux docker image is only a couple megabytes[0]. There are quite a few people (including myself) using it as a light-weight OS for their containers.

Now that is more like it!

for example, my redis container (samsaffron/redis) is 20mb, the official(tm) redis container is based on ubuntu is 100mb
