DeLi Linux 0.6 Review (OSNews)

OSNews reviews DeLi Linux version 0.6. " I think, DeLi Linux is a good attempt to create a Linux distro specialised to older hardware. What it currently lacks of, is the amount of software included. I understand that the developer wants to keep it small in size, but I think this should only be appliable to the software you have installed on your hard disk; on the CD or in the ISO, some more software should be included, mainly alternatives to already available types of software ... Also the using of a 2.2 series kernel was a wise choice; to mention an example, the PCMCIA controller of my Notebook is only supported by kernels up to 2.2 - it was dropped in 2.4. The installation system is yet quite o.k. for such a young distro. Maybe the amount of system settings supported by delisetup will grow in the future."
