How about a 38.4MB linux distro with View open client that is simple to set up and works great?

Go to the build page and put in your criteria and it compiles an ISO for you.
You can burn that to CD, or put it on a thumb drive. [I used UNetbootin in Ubuntu to put it on a thumb drive.]
One gotcha is that, by default, the View client uses the time setting of the client. Since the client, in this case, is the tinycore linux distro that has minimal configuration, you get the timezone of your VM changed to UTC.
You can follow VMware KB 1006773, or edit /boot/isolinux/isolinux.cfg in the ISO or on the thumb drive to add your timezone, i.e.: append initrd=/boot/core.gz quiet cde kmap=de-latin1 cde tz=EST
It gets trickier if want to include DST, but it is doable.
If someone figures out how to get this running on a Raspberry Pi, please let me know.
