Damn Small Linux (DSL) v4.1 RC 2

This is an old version of this software. You can also download v4.4.10 (latest stable version) or v4.4 RC 2 (latest beta version).

Screenshots (2) >

DSL is a very versatile 50MB mini desktop oriented Linux distribution. It's small enough and smart enough to 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
