It has been a while since I last used DSL and when I saw this new release I figured I'd try reviving an old Toshiba Satellite A20 laptop. Speced with a P4 2.8GHz, 512MB ram, 55GB hard drive. And it works great. The default Fluxbox is excellent, but I decided I would install Awesome WM as I use that daily, and it is working beautifully.
My only problem is I can't seem to shutdown the computer from the login screen, I have no mouse cursor there and I'm not sure what keys to use.
BadWolf works well, can be a bit laggy, so going to try NetSurf. I tried loading Youtube but BadWolf freezes loading it. Of course I never expected to watch any videos on Youtube on this machine.
Here are some shots of Awesome WM on DSL with the excellent wallpaper that ships with DSL.
