Damn Small Linux is a business card size (50MB) bootable Live CD Linux distribution. Despite its minuscule size, Damn Small Linux strives to have a functional and easy to use desktop. Having a working Linux desktop distro on a 50 mb bootable business card CD is just too cool not to do. Damn Small Linux has a nearly complete desktop, including XMMS (MP3, and MPEG), FTP client, Dillo web browser, links web browser, FireFox, spreadsheet, Sylpheed email, spellcheck (US English), a word-processor (FLwriter), four editors (Beaver, nVi, Zile [emacs clone], and Nano [Pico clone]), graphics editing and viewing (Xpaint, and xzgv), Xpdf, emelFM (file manager), Naim (AIM, ICQ, IRC), VNCviwer, Rdesktop, SSH/SCP server and client, DHCP client, PPP, PPPoE (ADSL), a web server, calculator, generic and GhostScript printer support, NFS, Fluxbox window manager, games, system monitoring apps, a host of command line tools, USB support, and pcmcia support, some wireless support. If you like DSL you can install it on your hard drive. Because all the applications are small and light it makes a very good choice for older hardware. Originally DSL was based on model_k, which did an excellent distillation of Knoppix down to 33 megabytes. But more recent versions are a reduction from Knoppix proper. As many know Knoppix is based on Debian which really made my task a lot easier, but the applications on the CD are not pure Debian. I am using a few apps that are not available via apt-get. Whats New in 4.0 RC1 Development Release: - New pendrive usbhdd installation script now uses grub with DSL on 2nd small partition. - Removed pendrive usbzip install script, syslinux and mtools. - Changed default root menu from dfm to chosen WM menu. - Updated "Getting Started" to reflect changed defaults. - Changed kernel from 2.4.34.1 to 2.4.31 to gain user contributed modules, e.g., ipw2and nvidia. - Created new support modules: cloop, unionfs, ndiswrapper, fuse, and madwifi in support of kernel change. - Updated nano-tiny to v2.0.6. - Fixed non-critical bug in dsl-config concerning hard drive installations. - Added dsl 3 runlevel for multiple user dsl consoles. - Fixed bug in iwconfig-setup - Updated functions5.lua - Updated fluxbox menus to use system default (helvetica). - Added vim link - Patched knoppix-autoconfig to correct language issues.. Comprehensive information on DSL, wiki, forums, howtos, documentation.
