Damn Small Linux was a business card sized (50MB) live CD Linux distribution based on Debian and Knoppix.
After a 12-year hiatus (from 2012 to 2024), the Damn Small Linux (DSL) project has started again.

Despite its small size, it strives to have a functional and easy-to-use desktop. Damn Small Linux has an almost complete desktop suite, including 3 browsers, office software, email client, program projections PDF, media players and FTP/SFTP clients.

DSL's new goal is to pack as many desktop applications as possible into an image small enough to fit on a single 700MB CD.
This project is intended to serve oldestcomputers to continue to be useful in the future.
