The official Damn Small Linux book the tiny adaptable Linux that runs on anything

Damn Small Linux (DSL) started as an exercise by John Andrews to fit an entire desktop computer system into a compressed 50MB image. Within a few years, DSL grew to one of the most popular Linux systems in the world (in the Top Ten, by some accounts) without growing beyond that 50MB target. In a wor...

Within a few years, DSL grew to one of the most popular Linux systems in the world (in the Top Ten, by some accounts) without growing beyond that 50MB target. In a world where desktop systems are bloated with eye candy and many rarely used features, you may wonder what makes this little operating-system-that-could so popular? Well, it could be that people don’t want to throw away a usable computer because the latest Windows system won’t run. It could be that people are tired of waiting for common computer operations to complete while who-knows-what goes on in the background. Or maybe it’s just a love for simplicity and elegance. DSL sets out to include all the basic features you need in a modern desktop computer system—and then makes those features functional, fast, and efficient. As a result, DSL can run well on hardware that is smaller, older, or less powerful than what most of today’s desktop systems demand
