[Damn Small Linux][1], sometimes abbreviated DSL, is a 50MB mini desktop Linux distribution. - -Originally created as an experiment Damn Small Linux gradually evolved to a genuine distribution while retaining the original goal of squeezing usable desktop apps on a tiny 50 MB live CD. - -According to the website Damn Small Linux is, in spite of, and because of, its paltry size, able 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 - - -Damn Small Linux sports a "nearly complete" desktop, and many command line tools. Notable [software includes][2] XMMS for music, and FTP client, Firefox, the Ted word processor, three text editors (Beaver, Vim, and Nano), graphics viewers, chat clients and quite a bit more. - -Any readers out there ever tried Damn Small Linux?
