Damn Small Linux Releases Version 2.1

Posted Jan 16, 2006 17:15 UTC (Mon) by shane (subscriber, #3335) [Link]

I was running an older version of DSL on an ancient Dell laptop (Pentium
with 40 mebibyte of RAM and a 200 megabyte hard disk), and just installed
DSL 2.1b yesterday. It looks a lot better, and my biggest complaint was
fixed (cut & paste didn't work with the touchpad).

Not great if you're in a hurry, but it is really nice to be able to run
semi-modern versions of software (Firefox, Gaim, etc.) on such an archaic
machine.
