I need a linux distro for anarchy's sake. any help?

I've found a bit of a hobby in testing (or trolling) the school I.T crew's patience. you may even want to call it "Ethical Hacking". my old trick is becoming a little, well, old. it was to use a WebScreenSaver exploit to bring up a command prompt window anonymously and unleash all hell (del C:\ /f /s /q) to take down that client.

what i want to do now is format the local hard drive and possibly install a lightweight (maybe text based) linux based OS.

here's the requirements...

1. Needs to install in 5 - 10 minutes

2. Needs to fit on a 4GB USB key

3. can not look like ubuntu 10.10 and up (i've used that live image before)

Update:

yeah, they really listened when i suggested upgrading from IE6, considering open source alternatives, loosening restrictions on web access, and file splitting utilities. at least i'm only messing with clients and not the server

Update 2:

i've mulled it over and i hate to say it snow, but you're right. i'm gonna practice on backtrack on my own LAN, and when i'm comfortable enough, i'll work on the school machines with a pad of sticky notes. be a kind of masked super hero (ruining other people's fun). though i might install firefox on a few machines before giving up my Ⓐ

    If I were your Admin, you would be in **** so fast it would make your head spin. Your "hacking" is not ethical nor clever. Getting root access to a machine that you have physical access to is elementary.

    Why not look for problems with the current setup and suggest solutions. That is far more constructive, a better learning experience, and ethical.

    You can make a dual bootin driver.
