Which small linux OS for AirVPN?

[77hahHHA221 2]

I am looking for a small linux flavor to use to browse web sites using AirVPN. I want a small one because I will keep it in virtual box (or similar). I want to use a few of these so the size is particularly important.

It's more about the desktop environment than the actual distro, really. For something fast and light in a VM I'd use Sparky Linux. It's based on Debian Testing so you have fairly up to date packages, it's light and lean, and fast. Sparky with the MATE desktop environment uses about 150MB of RAM on boot in a VM. When you say you need a small distro because you'll run several, bear in mind that virtualisation software will be pretty smart about RAM handling these days. If you load four versions of the same OS at once, the VM software will only load one set of the shared components into RAM, and then allow all four machines to access it.
