User Feedback :: DSL saved me !!

Hi guys,

Just a word of thanks. My laptop crashed with a Windows blue screen today and it looks like it is a non-recoverable error with Windows files....

So, I downloaded DSL on my desktop, burned it on to a CD and fired it up on my laptop.

It was fantastic ! It went on to my network with DHCP, let me mount the windows partition and allowed me to FTP everything off on to another machine - what a result !

Thanks very much - I've sent a small donation to express my gratitude (wish it could have been more...)

Also, whilst FTP'ing stuff to my desktop PC, my Norton AV complained of a suspected Worm attack (MS UPnP NOTIFY BO.) from the laptop running DSL (TCP port 5000). Any ideas what this might be? It only happened once.

Thanks again.

Nigel.

That's a great testamony, I've DSL to run better on my laptop than the original Win98. I even have sound with a volume control that works. Win always had sound but the volume control would never work.

DSL the only really lightweight Linux. Works fine with 200MHz 64Mb RAM.

DSL has saved me also. My old Mac crashed totally. I hate Mac os 9.x. THE most unstable OS ever. Win98 is 100 times better compared to that. =D
But OSX is a different case... I've heard.
