There's a strangely written but enthusiastic article in the Salt Lake Tribune about DSL and linux.< http://www.sltrib.com/2003/Nov/11302003/business/business.asp > Cheers rob Posted by Joel on Dec. 01 2003,05:56
That was a great article, lots of humor. But I agree with it whole heartly. I also use DSL, and love it, running it on many differant systems including a old Hitachi laptop running a Pentium proc at 133 MHz with 96 meg of ram. I mainly use it, (DSL) for dedicated streaming music servers for background music. I almost always do the hard drive install though.Joel[B] Posted by John on Dec. 02 2003,04:22
I was really surprised by the amount of traffic that article brought over, the Salt Lake Tribune must have a large reader base.

->to Johnby the way... how many people have downloaded dsl since it's first release? I think that among the small distros now it should be ranking in the first positions...shouldn't it? Posted by ImNotHere on Dec. 02 2003,22:30
Yay! more users!I have a feeling the help fourm will be getting really busy... Posted by John on Dec. 03 2003,04:04
Davide, I really don't know for sure. I don't have the download numbers. It's been in the top 10 at distrowatch for a while though.

Maybe Linux people have a fascination with a certain Evil empire er Confederacy of Dunces in Utah. Posted by robas on Dec. 07 2003,22:19
Why I like linux???'cos you guys advice me not to by new a machine. You advice me what I should have with mine old one. and I do have old : Pentim 160Mz with 16 Mb of ram and DSL works with it. I do have one more : 456 with 12 of ram (on old Toshiba notebook) and I'll try to work with it too. A problem it does not have a CD rom .. only FDD and 249 HDD. Is there any advice?? I've tryed FDD from other versions of linux but there was no responce:-( |
