Damn Small Linux - Puppy's small brother
,----[ Quote ]
| I guess I'm biased, but I have a soft spot when it comes to small-size
| distros. I like it when developers have the craftsmanship to bundle lots of
| great stuff into small, highly practical packages, proving that size matters
| not.

| DSL is a very nice little distro. It is fast and stable. Its modest footprint
| makes it ideal for olden computers with antique hardware. And it packs a
| useful bunch of lightweight applications, good enough to serve a broad range
| of users.

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.

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
