User Feedback :: UNCs are great!

My old laptop is not particularly fast (PIII, 700Mhz, 56MB RAM), so I have always had trouble with certain applications in the past. I have tried lots of different distros on it, but nothing beats DSL. I have 3.2 on it now, frugal install with persistent /home and /opt (I know, Robert, that is not true frugal is it?!) Works like charm! Kudos to John, Robert and the other contributors for their work. Absolutely great!

But, the real reason I wanted to write this is that I have learned something new recently: I have learned a bit about thes mysterious .unc extensions. They are really great! On my old laptop I have always used .uci extensions mainly, because the .dsl extensions tend to eat up my ram disk eventually. Now, with the advent of the .unc extensions and the wonderful dsl2unc script, I can run whatever application I want (almost) on this old machine! Yesterday I even played freecraft (made my own freecraft.unc of the freecraft.dsl, using the script - easy!). Wow! DSL is great!!!

Pleasing to hear that dsl2unc is useful to you, reidar :=)

Bearing in mind that uncs (and ucis) are Robert's creation of course ...
