Please help me in these questions quickly:

Features of Damn Small linux:
Easy to install or difficult?

KDE or GNOME GUI?

What kind of applications does it have? Are they all purely open source/ free software or are there also proprietary applications there?

What range of applications does it have, e.g.office suit, photo manipulation, Apache server? Dose it have more than one application for some purposes, e.g. two word processing programmes.

Are the applications up to date?e.g Open Office 2.0 vs Open office 1.0

How important are at forums to linux users in particular?

Easy, but not a mindless install.  Read the PDF help docs on the website for better assistance.

Neither.  Fluxbox or JWM managers.  No KDE and no GNOME

base ISO contains open source software.  Most extensions are also open source, but there are a couple closed source but still freely distributable applications available for installation.

Applications on the base ISO are usually not up to date because newer versions take up more disk space and the base DSL CD must be kept under 50MB in size.

Extensions are updated by the user community and are pretty up to date.  OO 2.0 is available

Very important.  Most help is learned from the user forums and the forum SEARCH function.
