 The final iteration of Damn Small Linux 3.2 was released by the U.S.-based project team on Jan. 18. Version 3.2 squeezes a 2.4.26 kernel and the Fluxbox window manager in a compact, 49.7 MB package.

- Updated SQLite to v3.3.10
- Updated Broadcomm 10/100 module b44.o
- Added wpasupplicant for wireless security
- New Mouse Config Lua GUI
- Added default tone generator for XMMS
- Added Resolution Selection to Rdesktop.lua
- Updated madwifi-ng modules

DSL boasts a nearly complete desktop that includes XMMS (MP3, and MPEG), an FTP client, a links-hacked web browser, spreadsheet, email, spellcheck (US English), a word processor, three editors (Nedit, nVi, Zile [emacs clone]), Naim (AIM, ICQ, IRC), SSH/SCP server and client, a web server, calculator, and USB support. It soon will have PCMCIA support, as well, the team said.
