| Article extols Damn Small Linux |
Mar. 27, 2006
IBM's DeveloperWorks website has published an article on Damn Small Linux that explains how the mini-distro can be valuable as a secondary OS when booted from a CD or USB pen drive. "Need a teeny-tiny, business-card-sized, open source operating system that squeezes a lot of software into a little space?" author Jason Clark asks.
"The popularity of Linux has grown by leaps and bounds," according to Clark. "With so many distributions of Linux out there, selecting the best operating system for your business needs can be a challenge. But if you're looking for a great bundle of software in a small package, look no further than DSL..."
"This quick review shows you how to use the miniscule OS, highlights the on-board applications, details how to load and start it, and explains how to save between sessions when using a bootable CD," writes Clark.
You can read Clark's entire article, entitled DSL Linux: Small Distro That Packs a Big Punch, here.
