Just though it would be interesting to see how we all found DSL!

I first found 0.4.10 from DistroWatch.

Been hooked ever since.

I was looking on DistroWatch for something that I could easily download through a dialup connection, particularly one that had Fluxbox, Vim and Midnight Commander.   That was DSL v0.7.2.  I've paid extra attention to it because of the myDSL system.

I found it on the distributions page of linux.org. I was looking for a little Linux distro to get my teeth into.
