Frugal! Frugal! Frugal! \o/
Why frugal? ..cuz I CAN !!!!!
1. Nearly bulletproof.
Reboot, and back to fresh state.
Especially good for dealing with dep-hell, errant compiles,
incorrectly edited files, or accidental data loss..
2. Easy to upgrade.
Typically copy the contents of a new DSL CD over
your frugal install, and reboot. Your upgraded ..
3. Boottime options.
With the frugal-grub install, setting up multiple groups
of boot options, mydsl extensions, and persistant shares
are super easy. Edit your /boot/grub/menu.lst, and reboot.
Create various combinations of resolutions, runlevels,
backups, extension groups, lowram tweaks, security options,
and various persistant directories and hostnames.
Easily edit your combinations as you desire.
4. Toram.
Need a tweak in the performance arena ?
Toram is the ticket. Run your entire OS in ramspace.
For low-speed CPU's with generous ram (+128MB's),
it truly improves application performance..
For larger ramspaces and fast CPU's , it's blindingly fast.
5. Portability.
Synonymous with LiveCD, Pendrives, Compact Flash.
Run your "frugal" install on just about any storage device.
Mirrors the original distro. Copy over your backup.tar.gz file
to another medium, boot with similar boottime options,
and your custom tweaked system runs anywhere,
on most everything. No being tied to one computer.
6. Expandability with flexibility.
You choose to have a new app become a permanent part of
your custom OS, or not. Uninstalls? simply reboot!
Less grief with dependencies, and leaner apps than using .debs,
DSL recommends the apt-get system for Hard Drive installs ..
Not so with frugal installs.. Select from a variety of extensions
from the repository..
Install as needed, or have them loaded at every bootup..
