Damn Small Linux (DSL)

 

Damn Small Linux is a very versatile 50MB mini desktop oriented Linux distribution.

Damn Small Linux is small enough and smart enough to do the following things:
Boot from a business card CD as a live linux distribution (LiveCD)
Boot from a USB pen drive
Boot from within a host operating system (that's right, it can run *inside* Windows)
Run very nicely from an IDE Compact Flash drive via a method we call "frugal install"
Transform into a Debian OS with a traditional hard drive install
Run light enough to power a 486DX with 16MB of Ram
Run fully in RAM with as little as 128MB (you will be amazed at how fast your computer can be!)
Modularly grow -- DSL is highly extendable without the need to customize.

"Had tried installing it to VMware and it turn out to be running
 smoothly and fast at just 64MB of RAM.The installation was jiffy(wont be a problem for newbie though.)Give it a try!! Make your old pc/laptop rocks like brand new again.
Really appreciate this distro by Linux."  

Current Version: v4.4
