DSL with its performance in its constrained 50 MB size,

how will you rank for that.

Whats the plus of DSL and what needs to be done to make it more better.
Post your thoughts.

I will rank it as No.1 because im highly comfortable with DSL than other OSes

Its known for its speed and small size with high performance and stability.

i give it a rank of 3, since it's my third OS. it's great but sometimes the size limitation just frustrates me. i still consider it to be one of the best distro's for saving old systems, i've saved alot of old machines in my neighborhood as well as friends and family. in my neighborhood i'm the goto guy for computer problems and have converted at least half over to linux. DSL is always my first pick when i come across a poorly spec'ed machine. here's my list->
#1 Ubuntu
#2 Xubuntu
#3 DSL(a.k.a.: Damn Small Linux)
#4 Mepis

I only use DSL. I would probably use a heavier distro for development if I had a system that would handle one but DSL would remain my main desktop OS.

1. DSL
2. DSL + DOSBOX + Useful Editor + any flavor of FORTH
3. WINDOZzzz - (For the handful of Win tools I still use.)
4. DOS (If I'm really desparate!)

No, I'm lobbying for openMopix to be integrated into a "Damn Small Cluster" distro.

Part of my idea is for the DSL community to offer cluster computing on our machines to raise funds for further DSL development.

Another part is to promote Damn Small Cluster as a teaching tool in schools.

And, of course, play with cluster programming ourselves.

P.S. Your avitar has me curious. Where are you from?
