I found it on distrowatch.com. I needed a distro that would run on a very old computer.

I heard about DSL from another member of the message boards at Freedomlist (mostly a discussion forum about and $10 and under ISPs, including Free ISPs). One day, someone mentioned both Knoppix and DSL, discussing how an OS can fit onto a CD, and the merits of it. Since Knoppix is a little tough to download on 56K dialup, I downloaded DSL, which was v.0.4.8 at the time. I've mostly used it as a secondary OS on my computer to Window$ 98$E, but, now that I seem to have adding programs to the CD and remastering down, I'll probably use it more and more and more.

I got into computers 21 months ago to do virtual-tour photography.
Stumbled across Linux as an alternative to Windows for surfing. Anti-virus Updates is a joke. UK/DE/FR etc., society is basically 10 years behind (i.e., broadband,) the US. Most of the world is 56k.
Started Redhat 6. UK, 3 magazines, Linux Format, Linux Magazine, Linux User & Developer. Linux Format, excellent graphic design & typography, least technical, popular, discovered DSL reading. Don't need full-fat distro.
My box, DSL & Knoppix. Can't wait for Knoppix Light, and can't wait for my Knoppix Komplete to arrive.
