I just read on SlashDot about a go Linux distribution based on DSL! The link is < Hikarunix > (slashdot article < here >). It kind of neat that people would base their linux off off a linux based on another linux.

there are lots of distros based on DSL. Feather, Puppy, Dyne:bolic, just to name a few.There is even one just to play UT2k4, based on DSL.

Actually, Puppy isn't based on DSL. However, both share the same concepts of a small efficient Linux distribution.

ah, okay.I stand corrected.

Brilliant find - I'm downloading now 
I wouldn't have bothered to check this out but as a keen GO player it's a great idea.
The standard computer version of THe Many Faces of Go is windows based and takes up about 60+ mb.
Anything that spreads the word is a bonus.
Also after dsl I'll know how to tweak it.

Must add it's a bloody brilliant adaptation of DSL.A lot of thought went into it. A must for anyone with an interest in playing GO and a good pattern for anyone else making a task specific booting distro.

Well, I do have a remaster of DSL 0.8.2, and I have Opera 6.03, Firefox and Wvdial. Havn't put it up anywhere for download. It's about 68 MB.Running it right now.
----
My splash screen has bright yellow text for the boot: prompt, and whatever you enter is that color also, very easy to see.
----
Another Distro is Luit Linux, based on 0.5.3.1, and the developer has informed me that work will soon cease due to time constraints. That one is pretty good, and a nice starting point for a remaster. One nice thing about DSL 0.5.3.1 is that it will take Opera well, and boots on almost all computers! I'm thinking about remastering it, but I realize that one has to have a key for Opera, or you have to put up with the advertisements.
(I have a key, and it takes effect when I restore, /home/dsl/.opera
That has to be put in the /home/dsl/filetool.lst

What is the name of that UT2k4 linux? I would like to know. Might be fun for some of my friends.

Man that is a sweet desktop!!!!
XFCE is a very nice desktop, but I bet it requires alot more system resources than FluxBox

Too bad we dont have a XFCE.dsl or something
We should really give this guy credit...it looks very good, perhaps we can get him to join us or work with us to create a DSL FluxBox or DSL XFCE release..would be cool!!!
More developers the better right?
