Damn Small Linux (DSL)

I’m trying to tinker on this particular revolutionary linux distro (based on Debian) which is so small that it can be fitted into my pendrive of 1G capacity. You will get a functional system up and running in seconds on ramdisk. Will update you guys on the outcome soon. There used to be PocketLinux (based on Slackware) which boot from 1 floppy diskette… though command line only… for critical system maintainence.

Its website claims it only consumes 50-60 MB of disk space with fully functional small footprint GUI. No KDE or GNOME, mind you. This is something handy should your windoze pc go kaput. By the way, Win 98 bootdisk is also handy for people with DOS knowledge.

Gotta polish my linux knowledge as Microsoft is preventing us to update our system if we’re using pirated windoze. Ok.
