Damn Small Linux Not (DSL - N) is an OPERATING SYSTEM that runs from a PenDrive (also runs from a CD). DSL-N is a bare bones operating system. However, the phrase bare bones is just an understatement to the capabilities of this operating system.
Some of the features of this wonderfull baby are:
- Boot from from a 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"
- Run fully in RAM
- Modularly grow -- DSL-N is highly extendable without the need to customize The applications in DSL-N were chosen because they are functional, usable, and relatively compact. Unlike DSL, DSL-N has GTK2 applications, that means DSL-N will need more ram and CPU cycles than DSL. To have a pleasant experience, we recommend at least 64MBs and 300MHz.
They also have a DSL edition that is not pleasing to the heart as compared to this darling.
Do not expect too much from this baby as it is not meant to be a PRIMARY operating system. However it is of great use for people on the move and the list may be seemless.
