Damn Small Linux plus pendrive equals portable paradise (Linux.com)
Linux.com takes a look
at Damn Small Linux on a pen drive. "
I recently acquired a 256MB USB pendrive that I use for storing personal documents and work-related stuff. As a Linux fan who wanted to make the most of his new toy, I went looking for the simplest, smallest distro I could find that could boot from a pendrive. I found Debian-based Damn Small Linux, whose long list of bundled applications fits into a meager 50MB. The more I use it, the more I like it."
