| All Windows Media, Quicktime *.mov, *.mp4, and Flash *.swf, *.flv files
| played without problem. I did note that Totem video frame transitions seemed
| a little lower quality than the TinyXS's mPlayer video, but the embedded
| Totem *.wmv videos loaded faster and with fewer hiccups than with the mPlayer
| plugin.

DSL - Damn Small Linux 4.4.10 review
,----[ Quote ]
| As part of a survival toolkit, Damn Small Linux could be something of a
| saviour. Earlier this year, this writer used a previous release of the
| distribution to excise a couple of gigabytes of files from an
| otherwise-locked-down Vista installation, and while it didn't save the
| machine concerned from complete reinstall, it did rescue an awful lot of
| data. It did it with no fuss, utter simplicity and earned a lot of
| appreciation as a result.

| The final thing I would like to remark on is the blazing speed of CB: The
| Openbox desktop loads in 3 seconds - honestly - and applications are not far
| behind, either loaded via the right-click menu or via the shortcut key
| combinations.
|
| It's a very stable distribution, too, which you would expect with its
| heritage but remember - this is also a very young distribution, so kudos to
| Philip Newborough for that.
|
| I would be happy to run CB on a production machine - that's the confidence an
| Ubuntu base system brings, I suppose - and shall certainly be keeping a close
| eye on this exciting young distribution in the future. I happily recommend it
| to you.

Damn Small Linux 4.4 Review
,----[ Quote ]
| DSL 4.4 was just released on June 9th, so this past weekend I installed it on
| my Compaq Deskpro Pentium III 800 Mhz machine. It only has 256 megs of RAM,
| so a lightweight distribution like DSL is a good choice for it. Their site
| claims you can run DSL 486 DX with 16 megs of RAM, so even this old Compaq
| should fly with what it’s got.
|
| [...]
|
| In conclusion, I think DSL is a cool little distribution. DSL is one of the
| two lightweight distros of choice, the other being Puppy Linux. DSL has the
| advantage in the range of packages available when you consider you can add
| Debian Woody repository to the mix.
