Hello everybody!

My name is Mikko, and... oh, this is so hard... okay here it comes: I'm a linuxaholic. I'm seriously addicted. I've been using various Linuxes since 1998, and a couple of years ago my linuxaholism went so bad that I had to stop using anything else. I also had an < LFS >-mania about four or five years ago, which only lead to total blackness when the system hang, so no more about that. Then, a few of weeks ago, I found DSL (just noticed what DSL is backwards). The first trip was so amazing that I just had to get more of it. I don't think, I can ever get cured from my linuxaholism...

Seriously; what it comes to DSL, I installed it to my old PC (500 MHz, 128 MB, 20 + 12 GB) and was immediately hooked! I didn't have a monitor available, so I did a headless HD installation, which was very easy after I had tested the installation on my laptop first just to know the questions the installer asks. It's sooo nice to have the oldie running so smoothly again after a number of Fedoras!

One of the best things of DSL, in addition to size, is the "SSH" cheat code, which makes it safe to perform the installation from a remote location. I've used Telnet installation method earlier, and that really needs to be done in isolated network.

Oh, I almost forgot: I wrote a DSL installation instructions, mainly for myself, but if anyone finds it useful, then I'm glad to be helpful: < Damn Small Linux 3.4.1 - Headless HD installation >

And finally: Damn Big Hand to all Damn Small Linux developers! Thanks!

Yours,
Mikko

Hi Mikko!

Unfortunately you came to the wrong place, no one here wants to get rid of the addiction!

Go Suomi!
