Hi All,I just wanted to say thank you to everyone who has put in time and effort to produce such a fantastic Operating System. DSL has saved me from throwing away perfectly good hardware that is just not up to running a Linux desktop e.g. SUSE and such like. DSL has given me hours of fun and will continue to do so. I tried other small Linux distros but DSL is the 'lightest' and fastest on my hardware -- isn't Dillo great!?! My system is: AMD K6-2 500Mhz 128Mb RAM (64 + 32 + 32) 1Gb Hard Drive (using frugal install leaves around 1300Mb free!) 2Mb Matrox Graphics Card Ancient CDROM drive (2x or 4x I think) 10/100Mbps LAN card (NE2000) USB 1.1 port many thanks once again & may everyone have a happy Christmas and a fantastic New Year!

It does! I use it for quick surfing and listening to the streams on SHOUTcast.

Dec - 2005Seasons Greetings to all the contributors of DSL! Thanks so much for all your efforts. Not only is it a great design, but puts new life into older equipment, as well as the new. On more than one occasion, the library computer was surrounded by several children as one navigated. That's the true reward. Thank you all so much! |
