Hi everyone,

DamnSmallLinux is so good for users that the regional government I live has decided to use DamnSmallLinux as reference to build the mini version of our own debian-based distro Guadalinex.

here is the link for guadalinex, a very good distro for pc with 128 or above memory (I have this one in my biggest pc):
< http://www.guadalinex.org >

And here the link to the mini develop team in Guadalinex, where decided to use DSL as reference.

< http://www.guadalinex.org/modules....start=0 >

The only problem you'll have with this page is the language, only spanish, but you can use the google page translation.

Greetings to the DSL team.

Here in Spain, almost the entire group of regional governments has decided to beg in Linux as the OS for the citizens. In Andalucía, the Junta de Andalucía (name of the regional government) give subventions to families for 50% price in new computer for home, with internet connection; and the OS sugested is Linux, Guadalinex or anyone else that user prefers for free.
The regional goverment of Extremadura, Aragón, Madrid, Cataluña and Galicia (the most populated regions in Spain) has developed their own distro of Linux. They are the following: Linex for Extremadura, Augustux for Aragon (Caesar Augusta = Zaragoza in Latin, Augusta derives from Augusto, so Augustux

), the other names don't remember.
Returning to Andalucía, my region, Guadalinex EDU is the Guadalinex version dedied to School and High School. Right know the goverment is deploying a set of computer in each school and high school with this distro for teaching. The inner tasks of the government are developed with Guadalinex, not Windows. I am studying the access exams to goverment functionary, and Guadalinex is one subject of exam.

Just one point I forgot. The principal river in Andalucía is the Guadalquivir one, which means in arabian Great River, so Guadalinex = Great Linux.
