Linux and Free Software :: Another Damn Small??

Does anyone know if this d/s solaris has X and actually runs the apps it says it does, or is it like that other PoS with no X?

It's no longer known by that name. I don't know if John contacted them, but I'm willing to be Sun did. As far as concept, afaict they took the apps straight from DSL (Solaris and BSDs have Linux 2.4 compatibility). FWIW, their screenshots still show JWM booting with a "DSS" labeled menu.

Their new site:

EDIT: Bingo. From the new site: "I tried to make its as much as possible similar on DSL and have transferred therefrom some programs."

Reviving this thread to show what happens when "damn small" gets "damn bigger." This is how milax is "evolving":

For systems with RAM > 512 mb the live image is mounted from the memory and it's possible eject MilaX CD after booting.
Added IceWM, removed JWM.

Two versions: desktop and server (non-GUI). Server version include Apache, PHP, Samba and NFS servers, GCC, GMake, Midnight Commander, Pine, Mutt, Elinks, Lynx and other utilities.

Bigger apps. Bigger size. Bigger resource demands. Etc. See, not damn small.

Yeah, the look of this one tricked me on DW. I put the iso in VBOX set at 128mb because I thought it was "light"......

I was wrong.

Its not bad though. the worse thing I see is its RAM requirements, however Solaris might just need more RAM and is difficult to optimize in that department. I was hoping though the RAM wasn't too much, I've been considering a Thin Client conversion using Solaris on a WYSE 9455xl once I get mine fixed ( needs new PSU board). The WYSE might can do it, but my Evos are out of the question.
