I kept waiting for a Chinese, Taiwanese or Japanese to post here..........
AFAIK, there are two Chinese versions of DSL; one is PUD (ref to http://www.damnsmalllinux.org/relatives.html ), which is lamppix remastered with Ion wm based on DSL-0.7. The other is DSL-BV1AL, which kept the original theme of DSL-0.9.
Both of them combine DSL with more than one "traditional" Chinese input systems (which are used in Hong Kong, Taiwan and maybe Singapore), therefore their sizes are more than 50M but they did their best to keep their distros within 8mm CD. Both have their fans/user groupes; I have tried both and was amazed by them in the same way as by DSL.
Both are MIT (no, no, nothing to do with Mass. Inst. Tech.) i.e., made in Taiwan. So far, I did not see any version of "simplified" Chinese DSL (i.e., with computerized input system used in China), but there are quite many Chinese forums talking about DSL and some of them mentioned that they are using DSL liveCD.
Certainly, there is at least one Japanese version --- http://www.hikarunix.org/
It is very likely that there are hundreds guests (I am not surprised if there are thousands) from the other side of world visiting DSL site and using DSL everyday; I am also using it every day but I am here in New York.... *sigh*
I am sure that Asian DSL users would like to post at this thread if they could post in Chinese or Japanese . 
Thanks John, Robert and many many DSL gurus. I've learned quite a lot from you. And SU, wonderful documentation! Excellent work and great user group!
