Answer 1

Linux is too large to fit on a floppy. A floppy holds about 1.44MB and the Linux is about as large as Windows XP (1.5GB). You can use this link to access Ubuntu Linux and you can get a free CD.

Answer 2

I agree with everyone else. A floppy drive is too small to hold any version of Linux. The smallest version of Linux that I know of is Damn Small Linux (DSL), which is roughly 50MB. You can fit DSL on to a jump drive with no problems. You can even boot from the jump drive. If you are interested DSL can be downloaded from Betanews at:

Answer 4

Maybe a terminal (command line) only version but not one with a GUI. A floppy holds 1.44MB, you honestly think a GUI could fit on that. Keep dreaming.

This is the smallest GUI based distro of Linux that I know of, http://www.damnsmalllinux.org/ and it's 50MB.
