Damn Small Linux 1.4 Review (GNUman.com)
Fluxbox is the window manager, chosen for size, speed and functionality, it is a nice desktop to work with; although it has a 'taskbar' at the bottom of the screen, to open the menu you should right-click on the desktop. Of course there are shorcuts to the most popular programs on the desktop to save you time looking for them, but at some point you will want to see what else this tiny operating system can do. DSL comes loaded with software; from the popular Mozilla Firefox web-browser and Axyftp, Nirc and Naim for communication, and xmms for music, right up to sshd, ftpd,Damn Small Linux default startup the 'monkey' httpd and even smb4k to allow access to and from network file shares; allowing you to set up a fully (multi) functional server straight from the cd."
