That's it Damn Small Linux (DSL) is a tiny distribution of only 50 MB in size! It can run on machines with as little as 128MB of RAM and even make you grind them eyea your at his speed!
It still has the ability to run even through another operating system (eg Windows), through a usb stick or even a usb drive.
DSL started as an experiment to see how many desktop applications could fit into one live cd 50 MB.
However, in the course of the process, he attracted interest and gathered around him an active community that developed it, giving him a lot of possibilities and especially the fully automated possibility of his installation.
So it shows an almost complete desktop. All applications have been selected for the best balance between functionality, size and speed. Damn Small also has the ability to act as an SSH / FTP / HTTPD server.
I had tried it several years ago and it had impressed me, as it now recognizes everything in the test laptop and all the peripherals like a speaker system, wireless mouse,
Perhaps the only thing you need to do is from the DSL Panel, choose: Netcardconfig, in case it doesn't automatically get an ip, so it can connect to Internet (probably didn't do well with my switch).
In addition to Dillo's default browser, you'll also find Firefox (Bon Echo). On its desktop you will find all the shortcuts for important applications, its menu is on the bottom panel (where it says DSL), and you can access it anywhere on the desktop with a right click.

See the list of its applications.
If you have a very low end machine, DSL will not only bring it to life, it will literally make it fly. Imagine what will happen in a more modern machine!
It is fully customizable and you can bring it to your feet. Of course, he does not have all the routines that have the usual distribution, it is obvious that he is more Spartan but manages to be absolutely friendly.
Because it saves itself in RAM, as soon as it loads you can remove the stick or cd you are running it on and also, at the end if you made any changes the settings allow you to save them, so the next time you run it live, have them there.
