| So I had a look around at the state of the art in Linuxes that boot from USB
| and I come across a little gem: DSL USB Embedded. DSL is Damn Small Linux and
| is an old 2.4 kernel and 50 megabytes of applications, a minimal system with
| hand-picked useful apps. The beauty of this particular distrbution is that it
| includes a QEMU virtual machine so you can be running windows, bung the USB
| memory in the hole, run a batch file and have your own linux running in a
| virtual machine under windows without having to install linux or reboot into
| a live CD.

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.

Damn Small 4.3: Damn fast, too.

| DSL keeps its spot as my default option for old hardware. This release didn't
| change that. The team managed to throw in small improvements without
| completely changing the way the standard system works, which I liked

Review of Damn Small Linux 4.1
,----[ Quote ]
| Damn Small Linux succeeds in accomplishing it's primary goals, being small,
| lightweight, fast, and easy to use. I found myself wishing I had a few slower
| machines around to install DSL for web browsing and music.

DSL 4.0: Damn small improvement
,----[ Quote ]
| Damn Small Linux is tiny Linux distribution that John Andrews originally
| created in 2002 to see just how many applications could fit into a 50MB
| system. The project has grown over the years to include many other
| contributors working on hundreds of packages and applications. Last month's
| release of DSL 4.0 brought many updates and changes, yet it remains a
| special-purpose distribution for older hardware because it lacks support for
| many modern features.
