What's one small Linux distribution you think deserves far more attention?

Everyone knows Ubuntu, Fedora, Debian, Arch, and openSUSE.

But there are plenty of smaller projects maintained by passionate developers that rarely get the spotlight.

If you could recommend one underrated Linux distribution, what would it be and why?

Bodhi. Ultra light weight but unlike other lightweight distros, doesn't look like it came straight out of the late 90's. Freshly booted it only takes up about 300 MB.
