I'm looking for a lightweight, low requirement distro to run on this WROL computer project I'm building. It will either be based on a raspberry pi 3 or an old netbook. It needs to be able to be able to easily browse various file types and archives without internet. I probably will never use it to browse the web, just files and a couple of different applications like VLC. I've also never used Linux before, except rasbian. I considered AntiX, but their site has communist junk on it, so that's out.

They have a 50mb still I do believe. It's smallest Linux distribution out that I'm aware of
