Damn Small Linux (DSL)
Thu, 07/05/2007 - 09:44 — Aubrey
DSL is 50Mb of linux magic. While most desktop distros approach or even exceed the 700Mb full CD mark, DSL underscores the extreme flexibility of linux with its minimalist approach. While it would be difficult to describe the default DSL Live CD as "fully featured", it does manage to cram in basic, light-weight web, email, document editing and networking packages along with configuration tools, a music player and standard linux utilities. All this comes with a clean fluxbox desktop and the simple EmelFM file manager. DSL uses updated versions of the older 2.4.x series linux kernel to ensure compatibility with older hardware. See the Damn Small Linux Main Page for more details.

From every human being there rises a light that reaches straight to heaven. And when two souls that are destined to be together find each other, their streams of light flow together and a single brighter light goes forth from their united being. –Baal Shem Tov
