I am brand new to linux. After having heard of it for years but being nervous about the "learning curve", I did finally try several live distros and liked KNOPPIX and SLAX best, with DSL and PUPPY coming in at a close third and fourth.
I recently found myself "deprived" of that other OS when my suck/bloat box had a wicked hardware crash and burn. With no funds available to replace my main squeeze, and knowing DSL would do more with less than the others would, I turned to the junkpile and found an old junker that would boot the DSL LIVE cd and did a lilo frugal install with persistant /home and /opt for backups and such. I thought his seemed like an unorthodox way to install it but hey, I`m game.
Next was editing the appropriate files to keep what I use and to get rid of the ones I don`t. DSL boots like a dream toram with a small swap file. All that`s left is to enjoy using just the slickest little/big OS known to mankind with the self satisfaction of knowing I will never pay another "dime" to that greedy/sucky/bloaty OS maker that I will only allude to here.

Many thanks to all who contributed to the development of DSL. When I get back on my feet I will occasionally send $$$ to support DSL because over the years I have spent enough on that other OS to buy a nice used car. I just wanted to extend my gratitude and let y`all know that because of DSL, I am one happy redneck hillbilly from Alabama...whodathunkit?
