Thats the thing - dsl is one of the more robust operating systems when you use a frugal install, dsl packages to supplement it and the very flexible backup/restore system as you can always have a core working os with massive levels of backtracking if you retain old backups.

I just uninstalled and reinstalled several times to a pendrive last night so I could test different configurations. It took a few minutes each time using the USB 2.0 ports on my new motherboard. DSL still exists. It's not my only distro, but it's the one I use the most and have the most fun with.

Dsl is one of the coolest gifts I have ever received. Someone gave it to me after I mentioned in passing that windows was the most expensive thing I had ever borrowed. knowing nothing about linux really, it took a few weeks to get a grip. Thank heaven for the forum. Dsl seems amazingly versatile, one aspect of this being the ability to install to hd on older machines..It is not recommended for what are now obvious reasons, but dispite this, after a short break,  I have reinstalled to hd and am very happy with what I have been able to get this old box to do. and think it will do more should I have the sence to use a test box for future apt-get  additions. The frugal install and control of additions is for another box. This is my hd install of dsl to an antique slated for the trash..rejuvinated to functionality, and I am proud of it.
