|  | Posted: Sep. 04 2004,01:05 |  |  Barney Matthews, the writer who has offered several
 "test-drive" reviews of small linux distros has a new
 piece on Distrowatch about "Slax"  a 185 MB mini-LiveCD distro.
 
 In writing about the adv/disadvantages of running from a liveCD format,
 his point being you were "stuck" with the apps on the LiveCD,
 It was nice to see him mention DamnSmallLinux as a distro
 that has the ability to "add" packages to itself..
 
 I'm enjoying the fact that DSL is making a difference..
 
 I think I'll email him and let him know how well it runs from a USBkey..
 I've been testing DSL with a new 512MB pendrive,
 and it is truly awesome to boot, load, run, AND have the entire repository
 + mp3's, other personal files, etc.. run SO SMOOTHLY from USB..
 Nice work,  roberts...
