Hello, I've just installed DamnSmallLinux to Harddrive on my old Computer (Pentium 233Mhz, 64MB RAM) and I'm surprised how easy it was to install and how good it works. I'm not very experienced with Linux, I'm just using Ubuntu on my new Computer a few times to try Linux. Now I want to use my old Computer for normal work like writting a letter or surfing in the Internet. The reason why I'm so surprised is, because DSL even works better than Win98SE on this PC. But I've got some questions: To use DSL as a Desktop-Linux I must know how to update old packages and how to install new software. (Ubuntu uses Synaptic and it easily works) I know that DSL is not supposed to be installed on harddisk, but I also know it is based on Debian. So there should be a possibility to use apt-get to update the system and install new software, but I just don't know how to make it. The reason why I want DSL as Desktop-Linux instead of the "real" Debian, is that it is easier for a Linux-Newbie and a lot of good and_small_ applications are already installed. So please help me building up DSL to a up-to-date and costumized Distribution for my own need.
