Small Linux - Not. "
DSL-N sports a 2.6 series kernel instead of the
2.4 in DSL for better hardware support. It picked up the ATI card in my
test desktop and the inexpensive USB-to-PS/2 converter on my laptop, along
with the wireless hardware. It's also got a lot of "mainstream" GTK2
applications. Gaim takes over from naim for instant messaging, AbiWord
replaces the Ted editor, Gnumeric spreadsheet preempts Siag, MPlayer
replaces XMMS, and the CUPS printer drivers take the place of
Apsfilter. The Mozilla suite takes care of your Internet browsing, email,
and HTML editing needs."
