Damn Small Linux

Summary

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

Put it on a Business Card size CD in your wallet or purse, and have Linux wherever you go!

Damn Small 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
   * add many pre-packaged programs 'on the fly' via click-only MYDSL downloads.
   * Load the distro to ram only (with the DLS toram boot option), pop out the boot cd,  
     and play cd's on the cdrom drive you booted with.
   * Union FS - you can use synaptic!
