I heard about it on a programming forum I'm a member of.

I was looking for a GUI OS alternative to Windows 95 (i.e. something smaller, faster, more stable, more secure) that I could install on an old, tiny, slow 486 PC. Did a Google search for "tiny Linux distro" or something to that effect, and came up with DSL 0.7.2 along with a few other distros. I was impressed with the Live CD approach (didn't know those existed beforehand) as well as DSL's customization capabilities and forum support.

I found a reference to DSL on the Kanotix forum. I downloaded it and tried it ( with a little help from my friends - here ).
And here I am.
