That's it Damn Small Linux (DSL) is a tiny distribution of just 50 MB! It can run on RAM machines with just 128MB and even make you rub your eyes at its speed!
It still has the ability to run even through another operating system (eg Windows), through a usb stick or even from 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 was impressed, as it is now that it immediately recognized everything on the test laptop and all peripherals, such as a speaker system, wireless mouse, etc.
Perhaps the only thing you need to do is from the DSL Panel, choose: Netcardconfig, in case you do not automatically get ip to connect to the internet (probably did not go well with my switch).
Except the default browser του Dillo, θα βρείτε και τον Firefox (Bon Echo). Στο desktop του θα βρείτε όλες τις συντομεύσεις για τις σημαντικές εφαρμογές, το μενού του είναι στο κάτω panel (εκεί που λέει DSL), μα έχετε πρόσβαση και σε οποιοδήποτε σημείο της επιφάνειας work with right click.
The set completes a conky with system information.
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.
